Coach Talk

The Riddlers
Good work assembling a lineup that won by 10.48 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done. We should keep this momentum going as we move on to our Week 15 matchup.
2Snax
Welp, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively received a healthy 21 targets in Week 14. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group recorded just 10 catches.
