Coach Talk

abel's Wondrous Team
Way to live up to the squad nickname! With a winning margin of 37.95 points this past week, the manager of abel's Wondrous Team deployed a starting roster that was quite wondrous, indeed.
Hard Knockers
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 30 times in Week 16. With only 15 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
