Coach Talk

Team Norseman
Listen Team Norseman, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's declined a bit lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 82.89 points through Week 13, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outproducing the 64.08 we needed to win this past week!
Goodfella
There's a real chance that Goodfella would be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With just zero total targets in Week 14, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
