Coach Talk

Green Bay Packers
Listen Green Bay Packers, the good news is that we won this matchup by over 64 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through 14 weeks was 140.39. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Cincinnati Bengals
It's entirely possible that Cincinnati Bengals may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With just 12 total targets in Week 15, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
