Coach Talk

Daddy
Good job deploying a starting crew that accounted for more than 133 points this past week. We did what was needed and took care of business. We should take this W in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Brandon's Team, and continue marching forward to a fantasy championship.
Brandon's Team
Brandon's Team may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a respectable 40 targets in Week 13. With only 24 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
