Fantasy Impact

Hopefully you were not leaning on Ladd to lead you to the promised land in championship week. That was a rough performance by the second-year receiver who has been quiet over the last few weeks this season. He's going into the final week of the NFL regular season on a low note, but hopefully, he can get back on the saddle in real-life football next week and in the NFL playoffs.
