Coach Talk

War Pigs
Nice job shrugging off that five-game losing skid, War Pigs! Each fantasy team will surely be met with adversity somewhere along the way... keep on truckin' and take things one week at a time.
Potsy's Posse
Unless Potsy's Posse wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough chances" is not an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 35 targets in Week 13. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group notched just 20 receptions.
