Coach Talk

Road Warriors
Getting the win is most important, Road Warriors, but we definitely know of one spot where we can improve as a team: our wide receivers were severely outplayed by the opposition. Christian Kirk (22 total yards, no TDs) logged just 5.5 points in Week 16. The pass-catchers on Big Skillet tripled us up with a score of 16.8.
Big Skillet
Well, Big Skillet, this week's problem is fairly easy to spot. Starting Gerald Everett in a tough fantasy matchup... let's aim to play with a full deck of cards next time?
