Coach Talk

Dallas Cowboys
Assembling a starting crew that won by almost 60 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. We should take this win in stride, tip our hat to the GM of LA Rams, and continue on our way towards a fantasy championship.
LA Rams
There's a decent chance that LA Rams might be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only 15 total targets in Week 10, their four wide receivers apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
