Coach Talk

Greenbay Ballers
Kudos to you, Greenbay Ballers. Good work deploying a lineup that blew the opponent out by a whopping 111.54 points this past matchup. We should keep this momentum rolling as we head into our next matchup in Week 15.
We Pack the Meat
There's a decent chance that We Pack the Meat might be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With only 10 total targets in Week 14, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
