Coach Talk

Brian's Team
Putting together a lineup that won by nearly 20 points this past week... we deem that to be a job well done. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Scar's Squad, take this victory in stride, and continue on our way towards a fantasy championship.
Scar's Squad
Hey, it's possible that Scar's Squad could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just 12 total targets this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
