Coach Talk

Hard Targets
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, Hard Targets. Our running backs were thoroughly outplayed this past week. Held back by Dameon Pierce (17 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Isiah Pacheco (107 yards, no TDs), our three RBs combined for just 27.3 points in Week 11, while the starting backfield for The Dogs of War doubled us up with a score of 58.5. We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 12!
The Dogs of War
Even though we didn't earn the win this past week, let's remember that we still have a bounty of fantasy football goodness to be thankful for.
