Coach Talk

gibby's Team
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, gibby's Team. Our starting quarterback was significantly overmatched by the opposition. Matt Ryan went 32-of-46 for 330 yards and three touchdowns for JAY's Team, and all Philip Rivers could muster was a 32-for-48 outing for 211 passing yards and two ugly interceptions. Let's put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
JAY's Team
Hey, it's possible that JAY's Team may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With only 11 total targets this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
