Coach Talk

Nikšica
We do admire the confidence this past week, Nikšica. Deploying a player with zero points (Jordan Reed), while still getting the W... that's playing with fire. Try those shenanigans next week and see what happens!
Državniposo
Talk about under-utilized: The starting RBs for Državniposo collectively registered zero reception on just one target this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 16!
