Coach Talk

Cracklings
We're wondering if the GM of Cracklings was sweating bullets in this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 2.06 points, Cody Parkey (2-of-3 on the day) decided that going 3-for-3 on field goals would've been just a bit too boring. Remember kids, every point matters!
iCuRaRook
Hey, it's possible that iCuRaRook would be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just three total targets in Week 8, their three wide receivers apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
