Coach Talk

SUPERFLEX
Deploying a lineup that won by more than 12 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 cap to the GM of Bird Gang, and continue the march towards the Fantasy Football 2021 league championship.
Bird Gang
Bird Gang may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 14 times in Week 14. With only eight total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
