Coach Talk

Cool Brees
Way to shrug off that three-match winless streak, Cool Brees! Every fantasy GM will surely be faced with adversity at some point or another... keep showing resilience like this and good things will continue to happen.
Gofful
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) combined to receive a respectable 31 targets in Week 13. With only 19 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
