Coach Talk

Gravity Falls Dragon
Hey, we admire the confidence, Gravity Falls Dragon. Starting not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (Dante Pettis, David Johnson, and Kyler Murray), while still getting a win... that's borderline cocky. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Who Dey Gamer and we're sure to be toast.
STL VIZZED
It's entirely possible that STL VIZZED would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just 11 total targets in Week 12, their four starting pass-catchers (two WR, two TE) apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
