Coach Talk

Tyrone's Team
Nice job, Tyrone's Team. Props on fielding a lineup that posted more than 168 points in Week 15. We should take this W in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Reynolds Rejects, and continue on our way towards a fantasy title.
Reynolds Rejects
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, two TE) combined to receive a grand total of 45 targets in Week 15. With only 24 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
