Coach Talk

DA nigga
You know DA nigga, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has decreased a bit lately, I'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 157.79 points through Week 13, our crew has obviously proven that it's even stronger than the 149.3 we needed to win this past week!
HUGH JASSEL
There's a possibility that HUGH JASSEL might be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With only 11 total targets this past week, their three wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
