Coach Talk

carbkit's Best Team
You know what, carbkit's Best Team, we do certainly admire the confidence. It takes real guts to deploy a player with zero points (Tre'Quan Smith), while still getting the W. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week and we're sure to be toast!
RickM's Bold Team
Even though we weren't able to get a victory in Week 12, let's remember that we still have a bounty of fantasy football goodness to be thankful for.
