Coach Talk

Thom's Terrific Team
Nice job, Thom's Terrific Team. Fielding a starting crew that recorded more than 128 points in Week 15.
Carolina 19
Hey, it's possible that Carolina 19 could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only 16 targets as a group this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
