Coach Talk

2 kickers
This sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Jeremy's Team at the wide receiver position (64.2 points to 27.5).
Jeremy's Team
Jeremy's Team will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a healthy 24 targets in Week 14. With just 13 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
