Coach Talk

Amazeballs
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by nearly quadrupling A Michael's Team at the wide receiver position (66.2 points to 16.7).
A Michael's Team
A Michael's Team will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 25 targets in Week 17. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group reeled in only 15 catches.
