Coach Talk

Matty Ice and Co.
A lot of cake, no icing: The seven offensive position starters (four WRs, two RBs, one TE) on Matty Ice and Co. combined to register a healthy 499 total yards. Not one of those players managed to find the end zone in Week 16.
FantasyFootballTeam
FantasyFootballTeam will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively got a respectable 35 targets in Week 16. With only 21 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
