Coach Talk

Sayers Monsters
Nice work, Sayers Monsters. Kudos on assembling a lineup that recorded more than 164 points this past matchup. Let's take this win in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Brown Stains, and continue on our way towards a fantasy title.
Brown Stains
Brown Stains may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 19 times in Week 15. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group notched only 11 receptions.
