Coach Talk

Bullet Club
Sure, we ultimately earned the win, but we can't deny it, Bullet Club. Our running backs were soundly outplayed this past week. Kenyan Drake (38 total yards, no TDs) and Marlon Mack (38 yards, no TDs) combined for just 9.6 points in Week 10. LeSean McCoy and David Johnson showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 54.1. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 11!
Garrett's Team
There's a decent chance that Garrett's Team would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With just four targets combined in Week 10, their three wide receivers apparently spent most of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
