Coach Talk

Steely Nick
The key to success in football is taking advantage of the mismatches. Fueled by a thrilling showing from Aaron Rodgers, we doubled up McCaffrey Antivirus at the quarterback position this past week (23.82 points to 11.48). Rodgers went 23-for-31 for 268 yards and three TDs (plus no INTs) in a 31-30 win over the Ravens.
McCaffrey Antivirus
Unless McCaffrey Antivirus wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" is definitely not an excuse this week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 37 times in Week 15. With only 18 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
