Coach Talk

Devin's Dandy Team
Props to you, Devin's Dandy Team. Fielding a lineup that won by 12.76 points this past week.
Tom's 6th NFL Team
Unless Tom's 6th NFL Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to see a healthy 16 targets in Week 16. With only 10 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
