Coach Talk

Team Carpe Diem
Nice work, Team Carpe Diem. Deploying a team that won by over 33 points this past week.
Don's Zeektacular Team
Unless Don's Zeektacular Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" can't be an excuse this time around. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 22 targets in Week 15. With just 11 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
