Coach Talk

Hail Mary 🙏
Assembling a lineup that won by a whopping 105.65 points this past week... we took care of business and did what we had to do. We should take this victory in stride, tip our hat to the GM of B E A S T, and continue our march towards a fantasy championship.
B E A S T
Unless B E A S T wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (two WR, two TE) were targeted a grand total of 27 times in Week 14. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they tallied just 14 receptions.
