Coach Talk

jichanorthNJ
Heckuva job shrugging off that two-game losing streak, jichanorthNJ! Every fantasy GM is sure to be met with adversity somewhere along the way... keep showing resilience like this and good things will continue to happen.
Newbies Rule
Unless Newbies Rule wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" is not an excuse this time around. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 25 targets in Week 13. Chemistry appears to be the primary issue, as that group reeled in only 14 catches.
