Coach Talk

Team Schendel
All of the cake, none of the icing: The six offensive position starters (four WRs, one RB, one TE) on Team Schendel combined to register a healthy 389 total yards. No one from that group found his way to the end zone in Week 5.
Sean Rob
Hey, it's possible that Sean Rob might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just 10 targets combined this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently made the bulk of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
