Coach Talk

Droppin Bombs
A big key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by stellar production from our receiving corps, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We almost tripled Jordan of Fantasy at wide receiver (23.1 points to 7.9). Michael Thomas had 98 receiving yards while Jordy Nelson chipped in with 48 yards.
Jordan of Fantasy
Hey, Jordan of Fantasy, what did your receiving crew do to annoy their quarterbacks this week? With only nine total targets in Week 14, our two wide receivers obviously need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
