Coach Talk

Eric's Expert Team
Hey, the key to football is finding the mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by quadrupling 3 Awesome 3rdP at the wide receiver position (52.1 points to 12.4).
3 Awesome 3rdP
Unless 3 Awesome 3rdP wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" cannot be a reasonable excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a whopping 21 targets in Week 16. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they notched only 10 catches.
