Coach Talk

Sooneye
Nice job, Sooneye. Bravo on deploying a team that blew the opponent out by a whopping 39.76 points this past matchup. We should take this win in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Jonathan Taylor’s Back, and continue pushing forward to a fantasy championship.
Jonathan Taylor’s Back
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively saw a whopping 18 targets in Week 12. With just 10 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
