Coach Talk

BallGrabbers
Props to you, BallGrabbers. Putting together a lineup that won by 28.58 points in Week 14. We should keep this momentum going as we head into our next challenge in Week 15.
Strait Outta Bounds
Hey, it's possible that Strait Outta Bounds may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only two total targets this past week, their two wide receivers apparently spent most of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
