Coach Talk

Billsrback
Listen Billsrback, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's decreased a bit lately, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 265.75 points through Week 4, our crew has obviously proven that it's even stronger than the 220 we needed for this past week's win!
The wtf team
There's a distinct possibility that The wtf team could be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With just 13 targets combined in Week 5, their six wide receivers apparently spent the majority of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
