Coach Talk

Fishy Pink
You know Fishy Pink, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped recently, I'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 118.03 points through Week 13, our crew has certainly proven that it's even better than the 96.12 we needed to win this past week!
DRAFTKING
Well, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to see a healthy 39 targets in Week 14. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group recorded only 18 receptions.
