Coach Talk

PKSRAIDERS
We're curious if the GM of PKSRAIDERS was sweating bullets in this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 4.21 points, Jake Elliott (3-of-4 on the day) decided that going 4-for-4 on field goals would've been just a bit too boring. Remember kids, every point matters!
Dragon Queen
There's a chance that Dragon Queen may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only 10 targets as a group in Week 15, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
