Coach Talk

Kneel O'Donnell
Kudos to you, Kneel O'Donnell. Putting together a lineup that won by a whopping 45.78 points in Week 14... let's maintain this momentum as we roll into our next challenge in Week 15.
Donnie Football
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 22 times in Week 14. With only 13 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
