Coach Talk

Marecki
Deploying a lineup that earned almost 127 points this past week... we deem that to be a job well done. We should keep this momentum going as we roll into our next matchup in Week 16.
BLM
There's a chance that BLM might be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only nine targets as a group in Week 15, their three wide receivers apparently spent the majority of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
