Coach Talk

Planet united
Yo, Planet united, you put the rest of the league on notice with this victory. In addition to a 14-point victory, you also climbed from ninth place to seventh in the league standings. Nice job!
Fools and Horses
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) collectively saw a healthy 21 targets in Week 13. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they notched only 10 receptions.
