Coach Talk

Jaxxon Pack
You know Jaxxon Pack, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped lately, we'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 282.75 points through Week 8, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outproducing the 164 we needed for this past week's win!
LEGION OF BOOM
It's entirely possible that LEGION OF BOOM could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only 42 targets as a group in Week 9, their 11 starting pass-catchers (eight WR, three TE) apparently spent most of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
