Coach Talk

BridgeBurners
Earning the win is most important, BridgeBurners, but we definitely know of one spot where we can improve as a team. Our running backs were thoroughly overmatched this past week. Our backfield produced only 9.6 points in Week 13, and the starting backfield for Poldi Steelers literally quadrupled us with a score of 41.2. Let's bug the offensive coordinator to get some more touches in Week 14!
Poldi Steelers
There's a real chance that Poldi Steelers would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just 12 total targets in Week 13, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
