I guess, if you want to be technical, the Ashe Fantasy Football League started in 2002.

Named after the county in North Carolina its members hail from, it's a 12-team PPR keeper league that plays with individual defensive players (IDP).

But in reality, it started much earlier than that, in Ashe Central High School, when Davis Lyle met Mark Wyatt. Best friends from moment one, they spent many hours together in the small town of Jefferson, North Carolina, starting a fantasy basketball league in 1993, calculating the stats together by hand every day.

They played in a lot of different fantasy leagues over the years, but as Davis told me recently, football was the one that stuck. Considering 10 of the 12 members in their league live in Jefferson to this day, it's not surprising there are lots of memories over the years. Like the year some of the league members had to work an overnight shift before the draft. So to make it fair, they ALL stayed up all night and drafted at 7 a.m. on no sleep, powering through the draft on a diet of breakfast burritos and bourbon.

Oh yeah, this is a hard-core league.

There was also the controversial trade that involved not just football players but remote control airplane parts.

From the annual golf tournament the day before the draft (where many a trade is made between fairways) to the loser wearing a pink sash for the next year's draft, Davis, Mark and the Ashe Fantasy Football League have been together through it all for many, many years now.

Until this past May, when Mark died of cancer. As Davis told me sadly, "You're not supposed to bury your 40-year-old friends."

Mark was the kind of guy who always had his fellow owners laughing, not afraid to make fun of anyone ... including himself. He had no filter, Davis said. "If he thought it, he said it, and he wouldn't back down afterward. It made for some great message board interactions." Mark loved to draw, designing team logos for everyone in the league. Detail oriented, he always had a very specific plan of attack and he stuck by it no matter who was on the board, Davis remembered. "He filled each and every need, never loading up at a position or taking too many risks. He never relied on trades; his philosophy was if you draft right, you don't need to trade."

As dedicated to real football as he was to fantasy, Mark was a passionate NFL fan and he loved his Carolina Panthers. In going to games and becoming a season-ticket holder, Mark would often tailgate with a group he had met from an online fan message board. One of the people from that board he would tailgate with, Amy, became his wife on Sept. 30, 2007.

Such was the love they had for each other, and the Panthers, that they had their wedding on a Sunday morning BEFORE a Panthers-Buccaneers game. And following the ceremony, the wedding party walked through the streets of Charlotte to the game. Davis added, "Oh, and instead of tuxes, the party wore Panthers jerseys and Amy rocked her wedding dress all the way through the game."

Not surprisingly, his motto was "Keep Pounding." Even as Mark kept fighting cancer, his love of football kept him sane, Davis remembered. "I work in the hospital and he spent several weeks here in the end. I spent many hours talking to him. And no matter what his current state was, it didn't take long for him to start talking about his beloved Panthers or who he should keep for Apocalypse Meow, his fantasy team. I love that he was staying positive about the future, worrying about keepers, up until the end."

When Mark passed away, it didn't seem right to continue the league. As the longtime commissioner of the Ashe Fantasy Football League, Davis has seen a lot, and as he remarked, "Replacing league members is easy. I just couldn't stand the thought of replacing his team." And so, Davis decided, the 2014 season would stand as their last. League members were notified and Davis prepared for his first football season without his best friend since he was a teenager. Then one day, he noticed a new photo on Facebook.

Amy had posted a picture of the new tattoo she had gotten. It was a tattoo of ... Mark's fantasy team logo! The symbol for Apocalypse Meow, a variation of the "ThunderCats" logo that was designed by Mark, was on Amy's arm for life.

Seeing that photo hit Davis hard. "The fact that silly league we were in meant so much that his wife honored him like that ... I realized it needed to continue. And so, we once again gathered this August, although sad, and continued our tradition. I didn't want anyone else owning Mark's team, so we retired his team, everyone else threw back their keepers and then we renamed our trophy after him."

They customized their trophy to honor their friend, and as the members of the Ashe Fantasy Football League are coming down the stretch, trying to win "The Wyatt," Davis reflected: "I miss him, but I smile thinking about how much he loved our league."

The league has become a tribute to their friend and a way to remember him and everything he loved and meant to them. And what used to be a one-day draft event has now become a full weekend at a rented cabin, where they have fun, tell some jokes and remember Mark.

"Sorry for going on," Davis added, "I just think it's amazing how much this game can have an impact on people."

Well said, Davis. Well said.

It's Jimmy V week here at ESPN, and while I am proud to be associated with a lot of what ESPN does, there's nothing I admire more about the company I work for than its exceptional and continued support of cancer research and the Jimmy V Foundation.

I've written before about my father, Dr. Leonard L. Berry. A professor, in-demand speaker, consultant and best-selling author, he is one of the world's foremost authorities on customer service, having served on the board of directors of many very famous companies from which you've probably bought a hammer, a hat, a pair of shoes or a good meal. I could write 2,000 words on all that my father has accomplished, but I write about him here because of a career change he made a few years ago.

After spending a year observing and working at the Mayo Clinic (and then writing about it), my father changed his customer service focus to patients in the medical field and how healthcare providers could better serve patients outside of the clinical part of treating them. As anyone who has had to sit in a bad waiting room or deal with a rude nurse can tell you, there's more to a hospital visit than just the medicine, you know?

Recently, my father was named a Senior Fellow at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, a leading healthcare quality improvement organization based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. As part of this research, he has spent the past 18 months or so observing various cancer treatment centers, interviewing cancer patients and their families. He wanted to look at the emotional trauma a cancer diagnosis brings. As he told me, "A cancer diagnosis may not be life-ending, but it is life-changing. For the patient and his/her family, for the rest of their lives. Even if someone is declared cancer-free, there will always be a worry. What's this new mark? Why did I wake up feeling odd?"

He recently published some of his research in an article for the Harvard Business Review titled, "When the customer is stressed."

As my father explains, "Cancer patients and their families have many needs that extend beyond the clinical care for cancer. We have not only an opportunity, but an obligation to improve families' experience when they are hit by the fireball of a cancer diagnosis."

My father calls it the most important work he's done, and he'll continue researching and making suggestions, consulting, trying to help for the rest of his life. I can't tell you how proud I am of him. He shrugs it off. "Cancer affects us all, sooner or later, directly or indirectly. We are all touched by cancer."

To him, there's not even a choice to do something different. I agree. And my family is dealing with something right now, in fact, so this week is especially meaningful for me. So I encourage you to get involved in Jimmy V Week in any way you can.

As longtime readers know, I am quick to block on Twitter (and have blocked, on occasion on Facebook and Instagram). I am anti-bullying in a big way and, make no mistake, that's what we see in some of these comments: cyber-bullying. Life is too short to deal with someone who feels the need to try to put something negative out toward another human, especially someone they've never met. So I'm quick to block.

But I also believe in second chances. So I am continuing my long-standing policy of unblocking anyone on any social media site in return for a donation to the Jimmy V Foundation. It's a policy that's been in effect for a while and will continue forever -- and not just this week. I'm proud to say we've raised thousands for cancer research through this program. Here's what you do:

Go to JimmyV.org and make a donation. Any amount is fine -- everything helps. Email me a copy of the receipt to MatthewBerryTMR@gmail.com. Put "TWITTER" in the header and make sure to include your Twitter handle or Facebook/IG name.

I don't reply to advice emails there, however. If you'd like my advice on whom to play, trade or drop, Twitter and Facebook remain your best bets, or just consult my rankings.

Let's get to it, with thanks, as always, to Jacob Nitzberg and Robert Nelson of ESPN Stats & Information. And remember, above all else ...

Don't give up. Don't ever give up.

Quarterbacks I love in Week 13

Ben Roethlisberger is averaging nearly 390 yards passing in his past three games, one of which he didn't even start. AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar

Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers: Quietly leading the NFL with 334.7 passing yards per game, Big Ben is money at home, averaging more than 21 fantasy points, 336 passing yards and more than two passing touchdowns a game in four home tilts (ding!) this season. Ben is a top-five play for me against a Colts team that is 18th against the pass the past four weeks and is giving up more than 17 points a game to opposing QBs on the road.

Andy Dalton, Bengals: When you give up more than 200 yards and two touchdowns to Matt Schaub, the next QB you face is automatically on the love list. Says it right there in the rules and everything. During the past four weeks, the Browns have given up 12 passing scores and more than 300 yards a game. They also gave up three touchdowns to Andy Dalton in Week 9. This is a good Andy week. Enjoy.

Jay Cutler, Bears: The 49ers are giving up more than 22 fantasy points a game to opposing QBs when they are on the road, and Cutler has quietly played some really good football. Yes, he's put up low scores the past two weeks, but that was against a terrific Denver defense and at Green Bay in bad weather. Now he's at home in a great matchup with Alshon Jeffery off the injury report, Matt Forte appearing to be fully back and Martellus Bennett expected to play as well. Prior to that two-game stretch, Cutler had at least 17 points in six straight. He'll look bored doing it, but Cutler is a top-10 play for me this week.

So you're saying there's a chance: Eight of the 11 QBs to face Oakland this season have thrown for multiple touchdowns, making Alex Smith (quietly averaging more than 18 points a game in his past four) worthy of deeper-league consideration. ... Ryan Tannehill has thrown multiple touchdown passes in all of his home games this season and faces a Ravens team traveling on a short week for its second consecutive road game. Other than the game in Pittsburgh in which Mike Vick was starting on three days' notice, Baltimore has allowed the opposing QB in its past five road games to throw for at least 275 yards and multiple scores. ... I know he wasn't great against the Titans last time, but with an inconsistent run game (and defense), Blake Bortles has attempted the most deep passes this season and completed the second most, which is great considering the Titans have allowed the most completions and passing yards on deep passes in the past four weeks. I'm firing up Blake as a high-upside QB2.

The price is right: As always, every player I mentioned above I also like in daily this week (Cutler and Tannehill are both really cheap), but specific to the prices on DraftKings.com, here are a few others to consider playing in DFS: QB is one place you can often find bargains in DFS, but this week it might make sense to pay up for Tom Brady ($8,000) at home, angry, getting Danny Amendola back and facing an Eagles team that has given up five scores each to Matthew Stafford and Jameis Winston the past two weeks. ... Death, taxes, start your quarterback against the Saints. Cam Newton ($7,400) had 32.9 points in DraftKings scoring the last time he faced the Saints, and since then, New Orleans has gotten worse while Cam has gotten better. ... At just $5,200, the newly shorn Ryan Fitzpatrick is worth a long look against a Giants team that is 29th versus the pass the past four weeks.

Quarterbacks I hate in Week 13

Drew Brees, Saints: I know, I know, he's good at home. And considering how bad the Saints' defense has been there's a chance for junk time. But ultimately, the Panthers have had 10 days to prepare for a QB who has just 19 points combined the past two games. Yes, those were on the road, but Carolina has held six of its past seven opponents below 225 yards passing. I expect Josh Norman to shut down Brandin Cooks for the most part, and considering the Panthers lead the NFL with 18 interceptions, I don't foresee a top-10 day for Brees against the sixth-best scoring defense in the NFL over the past four weeks.

Tyrod Taylor, Bills: Taylor was on the hate list last week, but I was wrong, wrong, wrong and he went into Kansas City and put up 25 points. So maybe I'll be wrong two times in a row (wouldn't be the first time), but I'm down on him again. The Texans are playing as well as any defense in the NFL right now, giving up the fewest passing yards in the NFL over the past four along with just one passing touchdown. That's not a typo. The past four weeks, the Texans have allowed one -- yes, one -- passing touchdown.

Kirk Cousins, Redskins: You like that?! Er ... you like that? Well ... you tolerate that? OK, that I can do. Yeah, baby! Hey, I'm excited for my team; that was a nice win against the Giants, and Washington's been solid this season at home. I expect them to do well on Monday night against Matt Cassel and the Cowboys, but if they are successful, it'll be because of the running game. Simply put, when you don't send pressure, Cousins is good. When you do, he's not. To wit:

When pressured: 39.4 percent completion rate, 3.2 yards/attempt, 2 TDs, 5 INTs

Not pressured: 74.8 percent completion rate, 8.0 yards/attempt, 14 TDs, 5 INTs

Meanwhile, as you compose yourself over my dropping a "to wit" on you, realize that Dallas has pressured opposing QBs on 31 percent of dropbacks since Greg Hardy's return in Week 5, the sixth-highest rate in the league. No thanks.

Running backs I love in Week 13

Doug Martin is third among running backs in total fantasy points this season, and he hasn't even scored a touchdown since Week 5. AP Photo/Julio Cortez

Doug Martin, Buccaneers: With at least 15 touches in seven of his past eight games, the Dougernaught ... nope, dammit, can't do it ... the Muscle Hamster is sort of quietly the third-best running back in fantasy. The Falcons have coughed up 12 rushing touchdowns and 81 receptions to running backs this season, most in the NFL in both categories. Martin's an easy top-five play for me.

David Johnson, Cardinals: I think part of the problem is his name is so boring. If he had a better name, people might be more excited. Hmmm. His initials are "D.J." There might be something there. Let me work on that. In the meantime, Chris Johnson is out, Andre Ellington is banged up, so now David "D.J. Score Rock (?)" Johnson will get the majority of work for the first time in his career. Already showing a penchant for scoring, "D.J. Pointsy Points(?)" has seven scores on just 54 total touches this season. Shocking that a Jeff Fisher team is underperforming, but yeah, the Rams are 28th against the run the past four weeks. This is actually a really good matchup for "D.J. TD(?)." Hmmm. D.J. Score Rock it is.

LeGarrette Blount, Patriots: As Martin and Winston showed, you can have big rushing and passing totals against the Eagles. I like Blount to get into the end zone this week and salt it away in the second half against an Eagles squad that has allowed an average of 165.6 rushing yards in the past five games, worst in the NFL since Week 7.

So you're telling me there's a chance: There's always the risk that Ronnie Hillman steals work, but C.J. Anderson was in on more snaps and had more touches and targets than Hillman last week. Both should actually be usable (with CJA over Hillman) against a Chargers group that coughs up the most yards per carry, the most yards before contact per carry to running backs and the third-most rushing touchdowns. ... I know, it was Brandon Bolden last week, but James White actually played the most snaps of any Patriots running back and ran 23 routes. He's now facing the Eagles, who among many other negative stats, have allowed the third-most receiving yards and most receiving touchdowns to opposing running backs the past three weeks. ... In the three games he has started for San Francisco, Shaun Draughn has played 145 snaps (the next-highest total by a 49ers RB, not including fullback Bruce Miller, is 16). On the road against Chicago, expect the Niners to run it against a Bears defense that has allowed the second-most rushing yards and the most yards per rush (5.16) during the past five weeks.

The price is right: I like all the guys I just mentioned for daily play as well, but here are some players I like specific to their prices on DraftKings.com:

Jonathan Stewart ($5,300) continues to be way underpriced, as he's had at least 20 rushing attempts in seven straight games, the longest streak by any player this season. The Saints are 31st against the run the past four weeks, including an average of 188 yards allowed in their past two. ... I already mentioned him above, but I have to highlight that D.J. Score Rock is just $3,400. He should be a staple in cash game lineups. C.J. Anderson at $3,500 is pretty sweet as well. ... Javorius Allen and Thomas Rawls are both just $5,400 and I like both matchups quite a bit. Allen is obvious, as Miami is the worst run defense in the NFL the past four weeks, but did you know that Minnesota, as great as that defense is, is just 23rd in rushing yards per game allowed during the past four games? On the road, expect Seattle to run it quite a bit.

Running backs I hate in Week 13

Eddie Lacy, Packers: Hope I'm wrong. I have way too much Eddie Lacy this year and I really hope I'm wrong on this one. I don't think I will be. The Lions have been Coot-tacular since the bye, and not just on offense. Their defense has held James Starks, Latavius Murray, DeMarco Murray (and their teammates) to just 55.7 rushing yards per game, with no running back rushing for more than 64 yards. They've also given up just one RB score in the past three games. Lacy missed the last meeting with the Lions, but Starks had just 47 yards against them. Now, he bailed you out with more than 50 yards receiving, but still. Lacy will share some with Starks here, and maybe Lacy falls into the end zone, like Murray did two weeks ago, but this is a home divisional game in prime time for the Lions, and they'll be fired up. Hard to see Lacy as anything more than a touchdown-dependent RB2.

Lamar Miller, Dolphins: Maybe the new offensive coordinator will help; he certainly can't do much worse. Miller is averaging less than 30 rushing yards a game in his past five, and facing a Ravens team that has held opponents below 100 yards on the ground in nine of 11 games this season, it's hard to trust Miller here.

Frank Gore, Colts: Here are Gore's yards-per-carry numbers in his past six games: 6.0, 4.8, 3.2, 3.0, 2.4, 1.3. Gore is wearing down as the year is going on, and the 32-year-old is on the road against a Steelers defense that has given up the fewest fantasy points to opposing RBs this season. He's outside my top 20.

Wide receivers I love in Week 13

T.Y. Hilton has been up and down during the past month, but is coming off a 95-yard, two-TD effort in Week 12. Joe Robbins/Getty Images

T.Y. Hilton, Colts: Now, there's the T.Y. I drafted! Hilton is getting the most targets of any Colts pass-catcher when Matt Hasselbeck is under center, and he has actually been targeted on a higher percentage of routes and caught a higher percentage of targets with Hasselbeck under center this season than with Luck. It's a good matchup here as well, as Hilton lines up wide right more often than any other position, which would match him up on those routes with Antwon Blake, who lines up wide left on 63 percent of coverages this season. Blake is ranked 113th out of 114 CBs by Pro Football Focus this season. Remember, the T.Y. stands for Thank You (for the points).

Allen Robinson, Jaguars: See Bortles, Blake. My man A-Rob leads the NFL in targets (55), receptions (23) and receiving yards (658) on deep passes this season, and the Titans get burned deep ... like a lot. He torched them for 113 yards in Week 11, and with Allen Hurns probably missing this game, all the targets are for Robinson. All the targets.

Brandon LaFell, Patriots: By now, you may have figured out that I am not particularly enamored with the recent defensive effort by the Philadelphia Eagles. We discussed my ranking of LaFell on Wednesday's podcast, but in essence, I believe the Patriots game plan specifically for their opponents more than almost anyone and design a weekly attack based on that specific defense's vulnerability. With rookie corner Eric Rowe replacing Nolan Carroll II, I expect Tom Brady to pick on him. And that means a decent amount of looks for LaFell. When Rowe came into the game on Thanksgiving, Calvin Johnson did not have a catch. He finished with eight for 93 yards and three touchdowns. Specifically, four catches for 54 yards and two scores were directly on Rowe. Now, he was pressed into duty and LaFell is not Calvin Johnson, but still. I'd like to get as many of the Patriots this week as I can.

So you're saying there's a chance: Ted Ginn Jr. (podcast fans know him by another name) should run the majority of his routes this week against Brandon Browner, who, despite actually playing decently last week, is ranked last out of the 114 cornerbacks graded by Pro Football Focus. ... You know I am on Hilton already, but considering how poorly the Steelers' secondary has played overall (eight scores to WRs in the past three games), Donte Moncrief is on the WR3 radar. ... Kamar Aiken has 32 targets in the past three weeks (by comparison, DeAndre Hopkins has 31) and Miami has now allowed an opposing wideout to score in 10 straight games, with WR1s doing the most damage.

The price is right: I like all of the players I mentioned above for daily play, but here are some others I like specific to their prices on DraftKings.com: If Danny Amendola plays, he's a no-brainer at just $4,700, especially given the PPR scoring format on DK. ... Since Week 9, no player has more receptions than Jarvis Landry ($6,700), who is sixth in receiving yards and third in targets during that span. The Ravens have allowed multiple touchdowns to wide receivers in five of their past six games. ... Finally fully off the injury report, Alshon Jeffery is a bargain at $6,900 against San Francisco.

Wide receivers I hate in Week 13

James Jones, Packers: When the Packers and Lions met in Week 10, Jones was shadowed by Lions CB Darius Slay on 64 of his 69 routes, per Pro Football Focus. Slay has played terrific football this season and Jones was held without a catch on just two targets in that Week 10 game. I expect Slay to be on Jones once again Thursday night.

Sammy Watkins, Bills: Watkins was on my hate list last week as well, so if you started him ... you're welcome, America. I'm doubling down even after how studly he was last week, as I just hate this matchup. The Texans have allowed only one touchdown to an opposing wide receiver in their past four games, a list that includes A.J. Green, Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker, Brandin Cooks, Marvin Jones and more. (Marshall caught the score.) Prior to last week, Watkins had games of 39 and 14 yards. He's boom or bust, and against Houston, it's more likely he's bust.

Brandin Cooks, Saints: Insert wide receiver facing Josh Norman here. With 10 days to prepare for this game, the Panthers should be locked and loaded to stop the best Saints passing game weapon. If you are a Cooks owner, you can hope they move Cooks to slot a lot more than normal to avoid Norman, but Norman has shut down every wide receiver he's faced this season, and Sunday should be no exception.

Tight ends I love in Week 13

Delanie Walker has at least 90 yards receiving in three of his past four games. Chuck Cook/USA TODAY Sports

Delanie Walker, Titans: Walker has at least 50 receiving yards in seven straight games, including eight catches for a season-high 109 yards against the Jaguars in Week 11. And it wasn't a fluke. The Jags have coughed up the most receiving yards and are tied for the second-most receptions and scores to opposing tight ends during the past four weeks.

Travis Kelce, Chiefs: Kelce is one of two tight ends (Gronk being the other) with at least five targets in every game this season, and in the past four weeks he has been targeted on the highest percentage of his routes among TEs.

Julius Thomas, Jaguars: Thomas has 30 targets in the past four weeks, tied for the most among TEs with Delanie Walker and Greg Olsen. No Allen Hurns expected in this one, meaning even more love for a guy facing a Titans squad allowing the most receptions and tied for the second-most scores to opposing tight ends.

So you're saying there's a chance: Philly has actually been pretty good against the tight end this season, but based on volume, his quarterback and the fact that there's no Rob Gronkowski, Scott Chandler is suddenly in the TE1 discussion. ... Kyle Rudolph has 13 catches and 19 targets the past two weeks, good for 159 yards and a score. He'll take on a Seattle team that, believe it or not, allows the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends, including scores in two of the past three. ... If Leonard Hankerson doesn't play (he missed practice again on Wednesday), Jacob Tamme is always interesting.

The price is right: As always, I like all of the guys I just mentioned as potential plays in daily this week as well, but specific to their prices on DraftKings.com, here are some guys I'm looking at:

With Gronkowski out, Olsen is the top tight end play of the week, especially against a Saints team that allows the most fantasy points to opposing tight ends and that Olsen torched earlier this season. He's just $6,400 and should have no problem earning value. ... At just $2,500, Chandler is the chalkiest of chalky plays, but it doesn't mean it's wrong. ... Vance McDonald has scored in two straight, is getting a lot of looks from Blaine Gabbert, and at just $3,000, he doesn't have to do much to earn back his salary.

Tight ends I hate in Week 13

Jason Witten, Cowboys: He's averaging 3.8 receptions for 32.8 yards in his past five games and hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 1. Matt Cassel isn't gonna help and the Redskins play the position tough, having allowed just two touchdowns all season to opposing tight ends.

I know. Not a lot of tight end hate. What do you want? They're all touchdown dependent dart throws outside of the studs. How lucky do you feel?

Defenses I love in Week 13

Carolina Panthers: Duh. The Panthers have forced multiple turnovers in five consecutive games and have 28 takeaways this season, six more than any other team. The Saints have allowed double-digit fantasy points in back-to-back games.

Arizona Cardinals: The Rams have turned the ball over nine times in their past three games, more than any other team. Happiness is your defense facing Nick Foles.

So you're telling me there's a chance: The Bears have held four straight opponents to less than 20 points, which includes the Chargers, Rams, Broncos and Packers. This week they get the 49ers, who have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing defenses. They are available in almost 70 percent of leagues. ... Happiness is also facing Matt Cassel, so the Redskins could actually be usable at home on Monday night.

The price is right: I like any of the defenses I just mentioned, but specific to their prices on DraftKings.com, the Vikings at home for $2,600 are pretty interesting. (I prefer the Bears at $2,600, but just another name for you.) ... Also, the Patriots are just $3,400, they are at home and they are angry.

Defenses I hate in Week 13

St. Louis Rams: The Cardinals have allowed a total of 19 fantasy points to opposing defenses this season, and the most they have allowed in a game is seven. Very quietly, the Rams have kind of fallen apart recently, as they are 28th against the run and 24th in most points allowed during the past four weeks.

Green Bay Packers: The Packers have not forced more than one turnover in a game in their past six. And Matthew Stafford and Co. are playing mistake-free football, turning it over just once during their current three-game win streak. During the win streak, opposing defenses have scored a total of three fantasy points.
