Coach Talk

FantasyFootballTeam
Whoa, now that's what we're lookin' for! A completion percentage of 84% for Baker Mayfield this past week. Quality and quantity! The Giants defense didn't know what hit 'em! We know the manager of FantasyFootballTeam has got to be grateful for that precision and attention to detail.
A Taste of the Herb
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively received a healthy 26 targets in Week 15. With only 15 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
