Coach Talk

ButoBangBang
We're curious if the GM of ButoBangBang was sweating bullets in this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 2.94 points, Matt Prater (3-for-4 on the day) decided that going 4-for-4 on field goals would've been just a bit too dull. Remember kids, every point matters!
EL GRINGO
There's a possibility that EL GRINGO may be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just 16 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently contributed to their respective offenses by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
