Coach Talk

GRIM REAPER
This sport is all about creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up RIch's Dandy Team at the wide receiver position (49.6 points to 24.32).
RIch's Dandy Team
Unless RIch's Dandy Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 25 times in Week 13. With just 12 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
