Coach Talk

TheNigerianNightmare
Nice job, TheNigerianNightmare. Assembling a lineup that won by 856 points in Week 12. We should tip our cap to the GM of IBLEEDREDANDWHITE, take this W in stride, and continue the march towards a fantasy championship.
IBLEEDREDANDWHITE
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively got a whopping 21 targets in Week 12. With only 12 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
