Coach Talk

Stash Gordon
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's not really any other way to put this, Stash Gordon. Our starting running backs were significantly outplayed by the opposition. Held back by Jamaal Williams (33 total yards, no TDs) and Melvin Gordon III (64 yards, no TDs), our three RBs combined for just 25.1 points in Week 15, while the starting backfield for Wentzsylvania doubled us up with a score of 51.4.
Wentzsylvania
There's a decent chance that Wentzsylvania could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just one total targets in Week 15, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
