Coach Talk

Treasure Hunters
Nice job deploying a lineup that produced more than 152 points this past week. We did what we needed to and took care of business. We should keep this momentum as we step into our Week 5 matchup.
Dunwoody Bulldogs
There's a real chance that Dunwoody Bulldogs would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only 15 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
