Coach Talk

Murray up and draft
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Case in point: we really took that to heart by doubling up Aiyuken! at running back this past week (34 points to 16.5).
Aiyuken!
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 31 times in Week 15. With only 18 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
