Coach Talk

Dave's Team
Heckuva job shrugging off that five-match winless skid, Dave's Team! Each fantasy GM is sure to be faced with adversity at some point or another... keep on truckin' and good things will continue to happen.
Pierce the Darkenesse
Unless Pierce the Darkenesse wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" is definitely not an excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 29 times in Week 15. With only 16 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
