Coach Talk

Mother of Touchdowns
Way to shrug off that two-match winless skid, Mother of Touchdowns! Every fantasy team is sure to be presented with adversity at some point or another... keep on truckin' and take things one week at a time.
The Dude Abides
A lot of cake, no icing: The five starting offensive position players on The Dude Abides (two WRs, two RBs, one TE) collectively gained a whopping 336 yards from scrimmage. None of those starters could find his way to the end zone in Week 13.
