Coach Talk

Fishbone
Nice work, Fishbone. Kudos on deploying a starting crew that netted more than 106 points in Week 15. We'll take this W in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Canton Thug, and continue on our way towards a fantasy title.
Canton Thug
We just took it easy so our players could dominate in Week 16, right? The six starting offensive skill players (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) on Canton Thug collectively put up 329 yards and just two touchdowns this past week. The skill players on Fishbone made it tough on us by logging 480 yards and four scores.
