Coach Talk

Enforcers
Way to shrug off that two-game losing streak, Enforcers! Every fantasy GM will surely be faced with adversity somewhere along the way... keep showing resilience like this and good things will continue to happen.
Blue Falcons
Luckily, Week 13's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Blue Falcons. Going with Dez Bryant in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up almost 144 points... let's try to move forward with a full deck of cards next time?
