Coach Talk

chase's Genius Team
Spotting mismatches is a big key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly dominating 8th at the wide receiver position (51.6 points to 8.8).
8th
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 17 targets in Week 15. With just nine total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
