Bunky's Raw Dogs
Hey, it's possible that Bunky's Raw Dogs could be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only 16 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
