Coach Talk

Don't Kupp my Murray Chase Edm
Deploying a starting crew that earned over 148 points this past week... we deem that to be a job done right.
Bekah’s Boss Team
It's entirely possible that Bekah’s Boss Team might be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just 10 targets as a group in Week 16, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
