Coach Talk

Overdose's Cool Team
Hey, we admire the confidence, Overdose's Cool Team. Starting a player with zero points (Joe Mixon), while still getting the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. Try those shenanigans next week against Red Dawgs and see what happens.
Neil's Notable Team
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 26 targets in Week 12. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they hauled in only 16 receptions.
