Coach Talk

Sesquepedantic Squad
Heckuva job shrugging off that five-game winless streak, Sesquepedantic Squad! Every fantasy team is sure to be hit with adversity at some point or another... keep on truckin' and good things will continue to happen.
Waynes Wacky Weasels
Ugh, talk about old-school ground n' pound. The starting RBs for Waynes Wacky Weasels collectively logged a couple of receptions on just three measly targets this past week. Get those offensive coordinators to dial up some screen plays in Week 14!
