Coach Talk

Springfield Atoms
Whoa, Springfield Atoms, you put the rest of the league on notice with this shellacking. In addition to a 64-point victory, you also jumped up from 10th place to eighth in the league standings. Nice job!
Boom in the Endzone
It's entirely possible that Boom in the Endzone may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just 14 total targets in Week 5, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently spent most of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
