Coach Talk

Team Redeemed
Hey, football is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by tripling Marco's Team at the wide receiver position (63.2 points to 19.4).
Marco's Team
Marco's Team will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively received a respectable 28 targets in Week 15. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group hauled in just 17 catches.
