Coach Talk

Phily
Nice job shrugging off that two-game winless skid, Phily! Each fantasy team is presented with adversity at some point or another... keep showing resilience like this and take things one week at a time.
FantasyFootballTeam
Hey, it's possible that FantasyFootballTeam may be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just 13 targets as a group this past week, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently contributed to their respective offenses by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
