Coach Talk

Las Vegas Raiders
Good job deploying a lineup that won by more than 170 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. We should take this W in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Akatsuki, and continue on our way towards the Vegas Dynasty League championship.
Akatsuki
Well, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (seven WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 36 targets in Week 13. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they reeled in only 20 receptions.
