Coach Talk

The Ghoul Gals
You know The Ghoul Gals, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 98.19 points through Week 9, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outperforming the 80.22 we needed to win this past week!
Lightin Darts n Breakin Hearts
There's a chance that Lightin Darts n Breakin Hearts would be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only 10 targets combined this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
