Coach Talk

Chard's Goat Herders
Bravo, Chard's Goat Herders. Assembling a starting crew that registered 177.5 points this past week... let's tip our cap to the GM of Xalt's Zappers, take this W in stride, and continue our march towards a fantasy title.
Xalt's Zappers
Unless Xalt's Zappers wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" isn't really a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 36 targets in Week 13. With just 20 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
