Coach Talk

Steel City Mutt
Way to shrug off that two-match losing streak, Steel City Mutt! Every fantasy team is sure to be faced with adversity at some point or another... keep showing resilience like this and good things will continue to happen.
Steel City Divas
"Not seeing enough looks" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Steel City Divas. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 33 targets in Week 12. With just 16 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
