Coach Talk
NorthwestSalmonbelli
We do admire the confidence this past week, NorthwestSalmonbelli. It takes a special sort of guts to roll out a player with zero points (Willie Snead IV), while still getting the W. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against da squirts and we'll be toast!
BallGrabbers
There's a distinct possibility that BallGrabbers might be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only one total targets in Week 12, their two wide receivers apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
