Coach Talk

2 Gurleys 1 Kupp
Assembling a lineup that earned more than 159 points this past week... we did what was needed and took care of business. We should tip our cap to the GM of Paweł's Perfect Team, take this win in stride, and continue our march towards a fantasy championship.
Paweł's Perfect Team
Paweł's Perfect Team will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 25 times in Week 15. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group recorded just 14 receptions.
