Coach Talk

Arizona Golub
Well done, Arizona Golub. Fielding a lineup that earned 115.58 points this past week. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to our Week 17 matchup.
Lucky's Legit Team
Unless Lucky's Legit Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" is not a reasonable excuse this week. Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 34 targets in Week 16. With just 18 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
