Coach Talk

KV Straydogs
This sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. We not only doubled up Lapac Machine at WR (17 points to 8), we also nearly tripled them at QB (22 points to 8).
Lapac Machine
"Not seeing enough chances" won't cut it as an excuse this week for Lapac Machine. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 27 times in Week 14. With only 14 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
