Coach Talk

anthony's Unreal Team
Listen anthony's Unreal Team, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped recently, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 177.67 points through Week 14, our crew has certainly proven that it's even stronger than the 136.87 we needed for this past week's win!
Mike's Team
There's a decent chance that Mike's Team may be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just 13 total targets in Week 15, their five wide receivers apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
