Coach Talk

Nashville Ninjas
Nice job overcoming that four-game losing skid, Nashville Ninjas! Every fantasy team will surely be faced with adversity at some point or another... keep showing resilience like this and good things will continue to happen.
Bring It!
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 16 times in Week 14. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group reeled in only 10 catches.
