Coach Talk

Rip
Nice job, Rip. Putting together a lineup that earned nearly 233 points in Week 15... we'll tip our cap to the GM of Cristian, take this win in stride, and continue on our way towards a fantasy title.
Cristian
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 16 times in Week 15. With just 10 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
