Coach Talk

Cleveland Steamers
Nice job assembling a lineup that registered over 117 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done. We should keep this momentum rolling as we head into what could be a winnable matchup in Week 12.
Zombie Unicorns
Hey, it's possible that Zombie Unicorns would be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just 11 targets combined in Week 11, their three wide receivers apparently spent most of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
