Coach Talk

Terminators
Listen Terminators, the good news is that we won this matchup by more than 17 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 12 stood at 121.42. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Tyler's Team
There's a decent chance that Tyler's Team would be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With only five total targets in Week 13, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
