Coach Talk

Castor Troy v25
Whoa, Castor Troy v25, you really made a statement to your leaguemates with this victory. Not only did you win by 30.66 points, you also climbed two spots in the league standings!
Matthew's Team
Hey, it's possible that Matthew's Team could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With just seven total targets in Week 5, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
