Coach Talk

K Bizzle's Team
Whoa, the Redskins secondary didn't stand a chance! 23 connections on 26 attempts... good enough for an 88 percent completion percentage for Kirk Cousins. We know the GM of K Bizzle's Team has to be appreciative of the attention to detail.
Raiders4Life
There's a decent chance that Raiders4Life would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With only 20 total targets in Week 8, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently contributed to their teams' offenses by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
