Coach Talk

the ball breakers
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, the ball breakers! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve. Our starting wide receivers were severely outplayed this past week. Buoyed by Robby Anderson (21 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Nelson Agholor (49 yards, no TDs), our three WRs combined for only 11.1 points in Week 15. The starting wideouts for Very inTimidating nearly tripled us up with a score of 33.2.
Very inTimidating
Fortunately, Very inTimidating, this week's problem was fairly easy to spot. Choosing to start T.J. Hockenson, Ezekiel Elliott, James Conner, and Brandon McManus in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up over 90 points... let's aim to move forward with a full deck of cards next time?
