Coach Talk

Marry Our Cousins!
You know Marry Our Cousins!, the good news is that we took this matchup by a whopping 60 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through Week 10 stood at 183.53. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
The Nuts
It's entirely possible that The Nuts could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just 17 targets as a group this past week, their six starting pass-catchers (four WR, two TE) apparently made the bulk of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
