Coach Talk

Wizards
You know Wizards, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has decreased a bit recently, we'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 105.22 points through Week 14, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 95.32 we needed for this past week's win!
Outsiderz
Don't get too distraught, Outsiderz! Sometimes that's the way the cookie crumbles. You know... if fantasy football didn't offer a real challenge, then winning wouldn't be as awesome, right??
