Coach Talk

Fubar Jr
Props to you, Fubar Jr. Nice work deploying a team that registered almost 154 points this past matchup.
The Little Giants
"Not getting enough chances" really isn't an excuse this week for The Little Giants. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively saw a whopping 38 targets in Week 16. With just 16 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
