Coach Talk

Pogues Mahone
Hey Pogues Mahone, the good news is that we won this matchup by nearly 59 points. Even better news is that we've proven we're better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through nine weeks was 596.94. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Champ Kind
It's entirely possible that Champ Kind may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just eight total targets this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
