Coach Talk

Disciples of Ezekiel
Good work, Disciples of Ezekiel. Kudos on fielding a lineup that earned more than 186 points in Week 15.
Maxdeflation
Hey, it's possible that Maxdeflation could be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just 17 targets combined this past week, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently spent the majority of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
