Coach Talk

Murcielago SuperVeloce
Nice work, Murcielago SuperVeloce. Kudos on assembling a starting crew that posted more than 190 points this past week. Let's keep this momentum going as we move on to our next matchup in Week 13.
Frosty Follies's Swell Team
It's entirely possible that Frosty Follies's Swell Team might be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just 12 total targets in Week 12, their four wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
