Coach Talk

More than a Thielen
Kudos on deploying a lineup that earned 182.46 points this past week. We did what we had to do and took care of business. We should tip our cap to the GM of Allen Robinson 👍🏻👍🏻👌👌, take this W in stride, and continue our march towards a fantasy title.
Allen Robinson 👍🏻👍🏻👌👌
Welp, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively got a whopping 35 targets in Week 12. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group tallied only 19 receptions.
