Coach Talk

Pigskin Pimps XX
Listen, Pigskin Pimps XX, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy a player with zero points (Hunter Henry), while still getting the W! All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be finished.
Superman's Team
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) combined to see a healthy 28 targets in Week 14. With just 17 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
