Coach Talk

Strikers
You know what, Strikers, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Zach Cunningham), while still earning the win... that's borderline arrogant! All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be finished.
FANTASY GURU
"Not seeing enough opportunities" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for FANTASY GURU. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 31 times in Week 11. Chemistry seems to be a problem, as that group recorded just 15 catches.
