Coach Talk

Road Warriors
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, Road Warriors: our wide receivers were utterly outclassed by the opposition. DJ Moore (no catches) and Christian Kirk (45 yards, no TDs) combined for just 5.1 points in Week 14. For Cavaliers, Stefon Diggs and Justin Jefferson showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 26. Let's bug the QB to get some more targets in Week 15!
Cavaliers
Cavaliers may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 26 times in Week 14. With just 16 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
