Coach Talk

Despots
You know Despots, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has declined a bit recently, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 85.62 points through Week 13, our crew has obviously proven that it's even better than the 51 we needed for this past week's win!
Ale iz Morave
With three receptions on only four measly targets this past week, the starting RBs for Ale iz Morave should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
