Coach Talk

Big Blue
Bravo, Big Blue. Nice work fielding a team that posted nearly 155 points in Week 14. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to our next challenge in Week 15.
Average Joe's
There's a possibility that Average Joe's would be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only 14 targets combined in Week 14, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
