Coach Talk

Vultures
Props on deploying a lineup that won by more than 16 points this past week. We did what we needed to do and took care of business. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Cocks, take this win in stride, and continue our march towards a fantasy title.
Cocks
Cocks will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 36 times in Week 15. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group reeled in only 21 receptions.
