Coach Talk

Double-D
Hey, this sport is all about creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by almost tripling White Russian at the wide receiver position (44.9 points to 15).
White Russian
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 27 times in Week 14. With only 15 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
