Coach Talk

Shyde
Getting the win is most important, Shyde, but we've also identified one spot where we can improve as a team... our wide receivers were utterly overmatched by the opposition. DK Metcalf (43 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) logged only 9.3 points in Week 15. The starting wideouts for SenDiesel showed us up by recording a score of 32.8.
SenDiesel
Fortunately, SenDiesel, this week's problem is pretty easy to identify. Choosing to start the Las Vegas Raiders defense in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up more than 102 points... let's deem this to be a learning experience and agree that it's not going to happen again.
