Coach Talk

Darrin's Team
Kudos to you, Darrin's Team. Putting together a team that earned more than 103 points this past week.
Jeffelin
Jeffelin will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively received a healthy 24 targets in Week 16. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they reeled in just 14 balls.
