Coach Talk

Orange Crush
Getting the win is most important, Orange Crush, but we certainly know of one spot where we can get stronger as a team. Our wide receivers were clearly outplayed this past week. Marvin Jones Jr. (74 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) logged only 23.3 points in Week 16. The starting wideouts for Domers almost tripled us up with a score of 66.6.
Domers
The problem this week isn't exactly rocket science, Domers. Choosing to start the New England Patriots defense in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all just move on from this and assume it's not going to happen again.
