Coach Talk

ROCK CHALK
Hey, it's good to be confident, ROCK CHALK. It takes real moxie to roll out, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Derek Stingley Jr. and Robert Quinn), while still earning the W.
Oliver's Official Team
Unless Oliver's Official Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough chances" isn't really a reasonable excuse this week. Our six pass-catchers (four WR, two TE) collectively received a grand total of 43 targets in Week 15. With only 23 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
