Coach Talk

Ghetto All-Stars
Getting the win is most important, Ghetto All-Stars, but we certainly know of one spot where we can improve as a team: our starting quarterback was clearly outclassed by the opposition. Our one signal-callers combined for only 10.68 points in Week 15, while the QBs for Black Mamba tripled us up with a score of 36.08.
Black Mamba
Hey, it's possible that Black Mamba could be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With only eight total targets in Week 15, their two wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
