Coach Talk

Closet of Hope-fuls
Nice job assembling a lineup that posted more than 115 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we had to do. We should keep this momentum going as we step into our Week 14 matchup.
Stars and Scrubs
Registering just five targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Stars and Scrubs clearly should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to dump it down more often.
