Coach Talk

Mr. McGibblets
Listen Mr. McGibblets, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has decreased a bit lately, I'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 114.78 points through Week 9, our crew has certainly proven that it's even better than the 102.53 we needed for this past week's win!
No YOU'RE the puppet
There's a real chance that No YOU'RE the puppet may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With only 11 targets as a group this past week, their three wide receivers apparently made the bulk of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
