Coach Talk

The Professor
A big key to success in football is finding (and exploiting) the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Jeremy's Team at the wide receiver position (61.2 points to 30.6).
Jeremy's Team
"Not seeing many opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for Jeremy's Team. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively received a healthy 29 targets in Week 12. With just 15 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
