Coach Talk

The Fundamentals
Way to shrug off that two-game winless streak, The Fundamentals! Every fantasy GM is sure to be faced with adversity at some point or another... continue to keep your eyes out for what challenges lie ahead.
Vienna Bears
Welp, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 25 times in Week 15. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group pulled down just 13 catches.
