Coach Talk

chris's Spectacular Team
We do admire the confidence this past week, chris's Spectacular Team. Deploying a player with zero points (Damien Harris), while still earning a win... that's playing with fire! We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're finished.
☝️ Dark Helmet 6-7
☝️ Dark Helmet 6-7 may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a hearty 38 targets in Week 14. With just 23 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
