[Part 9] What about AB?
• Sure it was extremely nice having AB distract the top corners & face double coverage to benefit Juju BUT are you telling me just any WR could get 169 targets without being something special?
• You dont crack 110 catches & 1400+ yards by accident!

[Part 10] Conclusion
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤝" title="Handshake" aria-label="Emoji: Handshake">
• Juju is 23, go out and take advantage of this “Buy Low” window.
• I don’t even mind overpaying a tad. If him & Ben are healthy all year, I expect a statline along the lines of: 75-1100-8
Side note: Go buy Diontae Johnson as well
