Coach Talk

Vandals
Just two makes on four field goal attempts? Sounds like Mike Nugent might have just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after this effort.
SECFOR Sixers
There's a real chance that SECFOR Sixers might be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With only 15 total targets this past week, their four wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
