Coach Talk

Runs Like A Gurley
Kudos on deploying a lineup that won by a impressive 46.64 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. We should take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Lee's Super Bad Aces, and continue the march towards a fantasy championship.
Lee's Super Bad Aces
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 29 times in Week 15. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group hauled in only 16 receptions.
