Coach Talk

The Spinning Turtles
Listen The Spinning Turtles, the good news is that we won this matchup by almost 62 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through 13 weeks was 102.99. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Kyle's Optimal Team
Hey, it's possible that Kyle's Optimal Team may be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just eight total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
