Coach Talk

The Phantom Limbs
Yo, The Phantom Limbs, have you been practicing any gymnastics lately? In addition to a 27.62-point victory, you also vaulted over five other teams to fifth place in the league standings... right into the thick of the playoff hunt
Minor Prophets
There's a decent chance that Minor Prophets could be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just nine total targets this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently spent most of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
