Coach Talk

The Solid #2's
Putting together a starting crew that won by a whopping 20.52 points this past week... we took care of business and did what had to be done.
Spives Corner Knockouts
There's a real possibility that Spives Corner Knockouts could be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only 16 total targets in Week 16, their four wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
