Coach Talk

Andrew's Astounding Team
Hey Andrew's Astounding Team, the good news is that we won this matchup by over 14 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through Week 11 stood at 83.13. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Heather's Unreal Team
Hey, it's possible that Heather's Unreal Team may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With just two total targets in Week 12, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently spent most of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
