Coach Talk

New Guy In Town
Only two field goals on four attempts? Seems like Jason Myers might have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire after this performance.
Dizzy Dashers
Hey, it's possible that Dizzy Dashers might be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just 12 total targets in Week 9, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently made the bulk of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
