Coach Talk

LV Raiders
Listen LV Raiders, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped recently, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 131.56 points through Week 12, our crew has definitely proven that it's even stronger than the 85.66 we needed for this past week's win!
Averie's Expert Team
Averie's Expert Team will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 22 times in Week 13. With only 12 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
