Coach Talk

RT17
Props to you, RT17. Nice work fielding a team that registered over 460 points this past week.
Sharks
"Not seeing many chances" really isn't an excuse this week for Sharks. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 22 times in Week 14. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they tallied just 10 receptions.
