Coach Talk

Riverboat Rob
Listen Riverboat Rob, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped lately, I'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 126.47 points through Week 5, our crew has obviously proven that it's even better than the 81.58 we needed for this past week's win!
Devin the Great
It's entirely possible that Devin the Great might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only 11 targets combined this past week, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently spent most of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
