Coach Talk

Glen's Genius Team
Putting together a starting crew that won by over 42 points this past week... we deem that to be a job well done. We should take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Willie's Team, and continue pushing forward to a fantasy title.
Willie's Team
Willie's Team will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 23 times in Week 15. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group tallied just 13 catches.
