Coach Talk

Gurley Men
Way to shrug off that two-game losing streak, Gurley Men! Each fantasy team is presented with adversity at some point or another... keep showing resilience like this and good things will continue to happen.
Leve-Gone Bell
It's entirely possible that Leve-Gone Bell would be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just two total targets in Week 15, their two wide receivers apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
