Coach Talk

Spitting Llamas
Listen Spitting Llamas, the good news is that we took this matchup by 29.76 points. Even better news is that we know we're stronger than this, as our scoring average through Week 10 stood at 201.02. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Falconsfan4life
It's entirely possible that Falconsfan4life could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only one total targets this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
