Coach Talk

More Than A Thielen
All of the cake, none of the icing: The eight offensive skill starters (four WRs, three RBs, one TE) on More Than A Thielen combined to record a healthy 520 total yards. None of those starters found his way to the end zone in Week 11.
Club de Fútbol
There's a decent chance that Club de Fútbol would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just 11 targets combined in Week 11, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently spent the majority of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
