Coach Talk

Skinny Pigs
Yo, Skinny Pigs, you put the rest of the league on notice with this dominant effort. Not only did you win by 121.5 points, you also climbed from fifth place to second in the league standings!
Dorian’s Battlecats
Hey, it's possible that Dorian’s Battlecats would be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only nine targets combined in Week 14, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
