Coach Talk

Roylinc
This sport is all about spotting (and exploiting) the mismatches. Thanks to stellar production from our receiving corps, our team really took that to heart this past week. We tripled will's Team at wide receiver (49.3 points to 14.8). Amari Cooper had 217 receiving yards and three TDs while Josh Gordon chipped in with 96 yards.
will's Team
Well, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively saw a healthy 22 targets in Week 14. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group notched only 11 catches.
