Coach Talk

PROTECT THIS HOUSE
Listen PROTECT THIS HOUSE, the good news is that we won this matchup by nearly 62 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 14 stood at 116.4. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
EBDBBnB
It's entirely possible that EBDBBnB may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just eight targets as a group this past week, their three wide receivers apparently spent the majority of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
