Coach Talk

The Flying Wedgies
Heckuva job shrugging off that three-game losing streak, The Flying Wedgies! Every fantasy GM is sure to be faced with adversity somewhere along the way... continue to keep your eyes out for what challenges lie ahead.
Sturgeon Bulldogs
Unless Sturgeon Bulldogs wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 12. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they reeled in just 12 catches.
