Coach Talk

Penny Trading
Three WRs, two RBs, one TE, zero TDs: The six starting offensive position players on Penny Trading combined to record a whopping 456 total yards. No one from that group could find his way to the end zone in Week 16.
T-MAKK
Unless T-MAKK wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 18 times in Week 16. Chemistry could be a problem, as that group managed just 10 catches.
