Coach Talk

Desert Eagles
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Keeper Reapers at the wide receiver position (25 points to 12).
Keeper Reapers
Keeper Reapers may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 19 targets in Week 16. With just nine total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
