Coach Talk

Jim's Grand Team
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? We not only doubled up cole's Team at RB (53 points to 25), we also thoroughly dominated them at QB (71 to 12).
cole's Team
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) collectively saw a healthy 20 targets in Week 14. With only nine total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
