Coach Talk

Godrichp
Good work, Godrichp. Kudos on deploying a lineup that blew the opponent out by a whopping 51.54 points in Week 15. Let's tip our cap to the GM of goodspeed, take this W in stride, and continue our march towards a fantasy championship.
goodspeed
Unless goodspeed wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 26 times in Week 15. With only 13 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
