Coach Talk

Osaka Blues
Listen Osaka Blues, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's decreased a bit recently, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 123.83 points through Week 11, our crew has definitely proven that it's even stronger than the 83.15 we needed to win this past week!
Dunwoody Bulldogs
Hey, it's possible that Dunwoody Bulldogs might be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just 13 targets as a group in Week 12, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
