Coach Talk

Jackie's Team
Lots of cake, no icing: The six starting offensive skill players on Jackie's Team (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) collectively gained a whopping 415 total yards. None of those starters managed to find the end zone in Week 14.
Mullets
Well, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to get a whopping 17 targets in Week 14. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group pulled down just 10 balls.
