Coach Talk

SKINS
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, SKINS! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then we have found an area to improve. Our QB was utterly outplayed this past week. Jalen Hurts went 21-of-31 for 217 yards and two touchdowns for Texas Heat, and all Derek Carr could produce was an 11-for-20 outing for 137 passing yards and two ugly interceptions. We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 15!
Texas Heat
The problem in Week 14 isn't exactly rocket science, Texas Heat. Going with Michael Carter and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense, Tee Higgins, , and Darrell Henderson Jr. in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up 79 points... we'll all just assume it won't happen again and move on.
