Coach Talk

Wolves
Hey, football is all about creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by tripling Ryder's Groovy Team at the wide receiver position (90 points to 29.88).
Ryder's Groovy Team
Yo, Ryder's Groovy Team, what did your receiving crew do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? Seeing just 10 targets combined in Week 15, our four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) clearly need to get in their respective QBs' ears this week in practice.
