Coach Talk

k's Fabulous Team
Listen k's Fabulous Team, the good news is that we took this matchup by 23 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're better than this, as our scoring average through Week 13 stood at 256.15. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Monkey Business
There's a real chance that Monkey Business might be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just 27 targets as a group in Week 14, their 10 starting pass-catchers (seven WR, three TE) apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
