Coach Talk

Censored Clowns
Football is all about creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by almost quadrupling Wylde Wolves 🐺 at the wide receiver position (39.3 points to 10.1).
Wylde Wolves 🐺
Welp, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) collectively got a respectable 15 targets in Week 16. With just nine total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
