Coach Talk

PENOKA HAWKS
You know PENOKA HAWKS, the good news is that we won this matchup by 23 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through Week 13 stood at 3,144.54. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Avechuchos
There's a possibility that Avechuchos would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only nine targets combined in Week 14, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
