Coach Talk

Barkley&Hopkins brew
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. Fueled by a thrilling showing by Aaron Rodgers, we tripled K's Slam-Dunk Team at the quarterback position this past week (23.82 points to 6.98). Rodgers went 23-for-31 for 268 yards and three TDs (plus no INTs) in a one-point win over the Ravens.
K's Slam-Dunk Team
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively received a hearty 27 targets in Week 15. With only 16 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
