Coach Talk

Tripping Billies
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. We not only doubled up Flying Flounders at WR (32 points to 13.1), we also thoroughly dominated them at RB (34.38 to 4.6).
Flying Flounders
"Not seeing many chances" won't be a viable excuse this week for Flying Flounders. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively received a hearty 13 targets in Week 15. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group managed just six receptions.
