Coach Talk

Johnnie Walker
Nice job, Johnnie Walker. Assembling a team that tallied almost 212 points this past matchup. We should keep this momentum as we move on to our next matchup in Week 4.
San Diego Scrams
Hey, it's possible that San Diego Scrams would be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With just 16 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently spent most of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
