Coach Talk

Antonio's Crazy Team
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. In addition to doubling up PA40FlyersFan's Choice Team at RB (41 points to 18.6), we also tripled them at WR (27.2 to 9).
PA40FlyersFan's Choice Team
Welp, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) collectively got a whopping 14 targets in Week 15. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group reeled in just eight receptions.
