Coach Talk

Big Chubb Energy
Kudos to you, Big Chubb Energy. Good work fielding a starting crew that blew the competition out by a whopping 29.58 points this past week.
Wheelin' and Thielen
Wheelin' and Thielen may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively saw a whopping 24 targets in Week 16. With only 14 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
