Coach Talk

REAPERS
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Willy Wonka at the wide receiver position (46.8 points to 20.8).
Willy Wonka
Unless Willy Wonka wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough opportunities" isn't really a valid excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 19 targets in Week 11. With just 10 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
