Coach Talk

Bradyn's Team
Whoa, that Dolphins secondary didn't stand a chance! 21 completions on 26 attempts... good enough for an 81 percent completion percentage for Kyler Murray. We know the GM of Bradyn's Team is appreciative of this type of attention to detail.
Dionte's Team
There's a decent chance that Dionte's Team would be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just 12 total targets in Week 9, their three wide receivers apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
