Coach Talk

Garbaggio
Listen Garbaggio, the good news is that we took this matchup by nearly 92 points. The *even better* news is that we know we're stronger than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 5 stood at 612.39. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Champ Kind
There's a decent chance that Champ Kind could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just eight total targets in Week 6, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently spent most of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
