Coach Talk

Not Even Close To Average
Nice job, Not Even Close To Average. Kudos on fielding a team that netted over 124 points this past matchup. Let's keep this momentum going as we move on to our Week 13 matchup.
Fantasy Manatee
Unless Fantasy Manatee wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" is not an excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 33 targets in Week 12. With just 20 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
