Coach Talk

VACHout
This sport is all about creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Comeback Kid at the wide receiver position (39.78 points to 17.67).
Comeback Kid
"Not seeing many looks" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Comeback Kid. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively received a hearty 24 targets in Week 16. With just 13 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
