Coach Talk

Jackson's Team
Bravo on assembling a starting crew that won by more than 40 points this past week. We deem that to be a job well done. We should take this win in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Chris' Team, and continue our march towards the Yahoo Public 45320 league title.
Chris' Team
It's entirely possible that Chris' Team could be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just 16 targets as a group in Week 15, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
