Coach Talk

Throw up the X
Now that's what we call righting the ship... The GM of Throw up the X shrugged off their two-game winless skid by putting up a whopping 102 points this past week!
Dak to the Future
Hey, it's possible that Dak to the Future would be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only nine total targets in Week 11, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
