Coach Talk

Tyrion's Tyrants
Props on deploying a lineup that won by 40.76 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. Let's take this win in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Grown ass-man dogs, and continue our march towards a fantasy title.
Grown ass-man dogs
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our seven pass-catchers (six WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 47 times in Week 15. With just 26 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
