Coach Talk

Dr!p
This sport is all about creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by royally dominating McLaurin F1 at the wide receiver position (33.6 points to 13.1).
McLaurin F1
Unless McLaurin F1 wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 17 times in Week 16. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they hauled in only 10 balls.
