Coach Talk

The Maniacs
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, The Maniacs! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve: our starting QB was thoroughly outmatched this past week. Matt Ryan went 32-of-46 for 330 yards and three touchdowns for Volt Blitz, and all Carson Wentz could muster was a 17-for-29 day, with 189 yards and one passing TD. Let's put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Volt Blitz
Hey, it's possible that Volt Blitz might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only six total targets in Week 5, their five starting pass-catchers (three WR, two TE) apparently made the bulk of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
