Coach Talk

Footsteps Falco
Nice job, Footsteps Falco. Bravo on assembling a lineup that blew the opponent out by a whopping 43.6 points this past matchup. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Blue Ox, take this W in stride, and continue on our way towards a fantasy championship.
Blue Ox
Hey, it's possible that Blue Ox could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only zero total targets this past week, their zero wide receivers apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
