Coach Talk

Anthony's Team
Three running backs, two wide receivers, one tight end, zero touchdowns: The six offensive skill starters on Anthony's Team combined to record a healthy 590 total yards. None of those starters was able to find paydirt in Week 15.
Petar's Spectacular Team
There's a distinct possibility that Petar's Spectacular Team could be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just seven total targets in Week 15, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
