Coach Talk

White Walkers
Well White Walkers, the good news is that we won this matchup by almost five points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through 11 weeks was 223.48. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Dragon Queen
Hey, it's possible that Dragon Queen might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only six targets as a group in Week 12, their two wide receivers apparently spent most of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
