Coach Talk

MVP Eli
Way to shrug off that two-match winless skid, MVP Eli! Each fantasy GM is presented with adversity somewhere along the way... keep showing resilience like this and good things will continue to happen.
New Sacz Giants
New Sacz Giants may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 35 times in Week 16. With only 21 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
