Coach Talk

Slap The Chef
Good work deploying a lineup that won by nearly 33 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. Let's tip our cap to the GM of GD Team, take this victory in stride, and continue on our way towards a fantasy title.
GD Team
GD Team will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 26 targets in Week 13. With only 15 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
