Coach Talk

Deep Ballin'
You know, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Not only did we double up MR's Majestic Team at WR (20.6 points to 9.3), we also doubled them at RB (43.5 to 17.9).
MR's Majestic Team
Unless MR's Majestic Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 15 times in Week 15. With just nine total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
