Coach Talk

terry's Trained assassins
Kudos on assembling a lineup that won by 16.52 points this past week. We did what was needed and took care of business. Let's take this W in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Tribute to Pops!!, and continue our march towards a fantasy championship.
Tribute to Pops!!
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to receive a healthy 14 targets in Week 15. With just eight total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
