Coach Talk

WilburForce
Good work, WilburForce. Kudos on assembling a lineup that blew the opposition out by a whopping 43 points in Week 12. Let's keep this momentum going as we move on to a tricky challenge in Week 13.
LaphroaigBenchWarmer
Hey, it's possible that LaphroaigBenchWarmer might be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With just 15 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
