Coach Talk

Pork Chop Express
Well done, Pork Chop Express. Nice job assembling a starting crew that tallied over 144 points in Week 14. Let's take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of The Fantasy Sensei, and continue our march towards a fantasy championship.
The Fantasy Sensei
Posting four receptions on only five targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for The Fantasy Sensei clearly should look into why their quarterbacks are giving them the cold shoulder.
