Toyota Roster Tune-up

• Tough week, Pungent Poops. We can only assume that all your starters were on bye this week.
• 7 of the starters on Pungent Poops underperformed versus their projections.
• A heated blanket would be a great gift for Pierre Garcon during this cold streak. He scored below his projection in five straight games after scoring 6.50 points against a projected 9.96 this week.
• Demaryius Thomas did not meet his 16.26 projected points and has now underperformed versus projections for four straight weeks. He also scored a season-low 4.60 points.
• It's times like these when it's important to support your players when they're down. So move the mouse pointer away from the DROP button. Lamar Miller scored a season-low 4.30 points, 29.6% of his projected 14.51, which is his lowest percentage of the year.
