Coach Talk

Reaper Crew
Putting together a starting crew that netted nearly 112 points this past week... we did what we had to do and took care of business.
Predators
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively got a healthy 36 targets in Week 16. Chemistry appears to be the primary problem, as that group notched just 17 receptions.
