Coach Talk

Nerd Herd
Way to shrug off that eight-match losing streak, Nerd Herd! Every fantasy team is faced with adversity somewhere along the way... keep on truckin' and take things one week at a time.
Wheezy
Unless Wheezy wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) combined to receive a hearty 23 targets in Week 13. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group recorded only 13 receptions.
