Coach Talk

Nurses Rule
Nice work, Nurses Rule. Kudos on assembling a lineup that earned over 119 points in Week 15. We should keep this momentum as we step into our Week 16 matchup.
Aj's Best Team
"Not getting many chances" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Aj's Best Team. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 19 times in Week 15. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they pulled down just 10 receptions.
