Coach Talk

Bad JuJu
Sure, we ultimately earned the win, but we can't deny it, Bad JuJu; our QB was significantly outplayed this past week. Carson Wentz went 25-of-45 for 215 yards and two touchdowns for Penetrators, and all Kyler Murray could manage through the air was 170 passing yards. Let's spend some extra time this week working with our receivers!
Penetrators
There's a real chance that Penetrators may be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only 13 total targets in Week 12, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
