Coach Talk
250 Team 1
Deploying a lineup that registered 118.6 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. We should maintain this momentum as we head into our Week 16 matchup.
Fifth Draft
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively got a respectable 18 targets in Week 15. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group notched just eight catches.
