Coach Talk

BaLLCHiNiaNzzz
You know, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Mr. Phamtastic at the wide receiver position (34.3 points to 14.5).
Mr. Phamtastic
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 21 times in Week 14. With just 11 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
