Coach Talk

Nebraska Corn Bores
Nice job, Nebraska Corn Bores. Props on assembling a lineup that earned over 378 points this past week. We'll tip our cap to the GM of Forney Gators, take this W in stride, and continue the march towards a fantasy title.
Forney Gators
Unless Forney Gators wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" can't be a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 27 targets in Week 15. With just 16 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
