Coach Talk

The 'Rona
You know The 'Rona, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped recently, I'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 116.99 points through Week 11, our crew has definitely proven that it's even stronger than the 98.56 we needed for this past week's win!
Barcroft Motherchuckers
It's entirely possible that Barcroft Motherchuckers could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only 10 targets combined this past week, their three wide receivers apparently spent the majority of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
