Coach Talk

Green Bay Packers
You know Green Bay Packers, the good news is that we took this matchup by over 22 points. The *even better* news is that we know we're better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 10 stood at 200.59. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
New York Giants
There's a distinct possibility that New York Giants might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just 16 total targets in Week 11, their eight starting pass-catchers (six WR, two TE) apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
