Coach Talk

OhKaeptainMyKaeptain
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's not really any way sugarcoat this, OhKaeptainMyKaeptain. Our wide receivers were clearly outplayed by the opposition. Held back by Michael Gallup (six yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Darius Slayton (31 yards, one TD), our three WRs combined for just 13.1 points in Week 15. The starting wideouts for DK Bestcalf doubled us up with a score of 32.3.
DK Bestcalf
Welp, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 29 targets in Week 15. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group tallied just 17 receptions.
