Coach Talk

G'DAWG
Nice work, G'DAWG. Assembling a lineup that registered more than 101 points this past matchup.
RidgeRunners
Hey, it's possible that RidgeRunners might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only six total targets in Week 15, their two wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
