Coach Talk

Nate's Notable Team
Well Nate's Notable Team, the good news is that we won this matchup by 50.64 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through 12 weeks was 104.42. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
wally's Nifty Team
There's a real possibility that wally's Nifty Team might be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just 10 targets combined this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently spent most of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
