Coach Talk

Indy Exterminators
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to stellar performances by Justin Jefferson and Cooper Kupp, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We quadrupled nicholas's Team2 at wide receiver (22.9 points to 5.5). Jefferson had 116 receiving yards while Kupp chipped in with 109 yards.
nicholas's Team2
Unless nicholas's Team2 wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively got a healthy 15 targets in Week 16. With only seven total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
