Coach Talk

cbz[st]
Nice job, cbz[st]. Deploying a lineup that registered more than 114 points this past matchup.
ele[st]
There's a distinct possibility that ele[st] may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With just 11 targets combined this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
