Coach Talk

Dallas Cowboys
Nice job overcoming that two-game losing streak, Dallas Cowboys! Every fantasy team is hit with adversity somewhere along the way... continue to keep your eyes out for what challenges lie ahead.
Seattle Seahawks
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) combined to see a whopping 27 targets in Week 13. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group recorded only 16 catches.
