Coach Talk

Top Gun
You know Top Gun, the good news is that we won this matchup by more than 26 points. Even better news is that we've proven we're better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through 14 weeks was 123.07. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
FreeWin4u
It's entirely possible that FreeWin4u could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just three total targets in Week 15, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
