Coach Talk

Golladay Inn
Nice work, Golladay Inn. Deploying a lineup that won by more than 45 points this past matchup. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Matthew's Team, take this W in stride, and continue our march towards a fantasy title.
Matthew's Team
"Not seeing enough chances" is definitely not an excuse this week for Matthew's Team. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively saw a healthy 28 targets in Week 12. Chemistry appears to be the primary problem, as that group pulled down just 17 balls.
