Coach Talk

Pick Six
You know Pick Six, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has decreased a bit lately, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 189.59 points through Week 8, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outproducing the 131.68 we needed to win this past week!
The Klingons
It's entirely possible that The Klingons could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With just 12 total targets this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently spent the majority of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
