Coach Talk

Angry Gophers
Nice job, Angry Gophers. Fielding a team that won by over 65 points in Week 15.
matthew's Team
There's a real chance that matthew's Team might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only 13 targets as a group in Week 15, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently spent the majority of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
