23DosTres
Props on assembling a starting crew that produced 157 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right.
King Chosen Juan
Welp, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a whopping 36 targets in Week 15. With just 20 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
