Coach Talk

Stink Pink Gators
Getting the win is most important, Stink Pink Gators, but we've also identified one spot where we can get better as a team: our running backs were thoroughly outplayed by the opposition. Javorius Allen (19 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Frank Gore (119 yards, no TDs) combined for just 13.8 points in Week 6, and the starting backfield for Colonel Cucumber doubled us up with a score of 28.4. We need to put some extra effort into scouting these upcoming defenses!
Colonel Cucumber
It's entirely possible that Colonel Cucumber might be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just 14 total targets in Week 6, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
