Coach Talk

da squirts
Heckuva job overcoming that six-game losing skid, da squirts! Each fantasy team will surely be faced with adversity at some point or another... continue to keep your eyes out for what challenges lie ahead.
The Apes
There's a chance that The Apes may be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just 11 total targets this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
