Coach Talk

FantasyFB Jukez
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Thanks to a solid display from Kirk Cousins, we utterly dominated Fins 2 at the quarterback position this past week (25 points to 4.58). Cousins went 31-for-41 for 425 yards and two TDs in a 34-23 loss to the Lions.
Fins 2
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a healthy 26 targets in Week 14. With just 16 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
