Coach Talk

Flea Flickers
You know, football is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. Fueled by a solid display by Kirk Cousins, we nearly tripled macgregor's Grand Team at the quarterback position this past week (34.4 points to 11.7). Cousins went 34-for-54 for 460 yards, four TDs, and two INTs in a 39-36 win over the Colts.
macgregor's Grand Team
Welp, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 17 times in Week 15. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group reeled in just nine receptions.
