Coach Talk

Phillip's Primo Team
Earning the win is most important, Phillip's Primo Team, but we definitely know of one spot where we can get stronger as a team: our running backs were severely outmatched by the opposition. Held back by Ke'Shawn Vaughn (zero yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Latavius Murray (42 yards, no TDs), our five RBs combined for only 11 points in Week 9, and the starting backfield for Cake showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 50. Let's work with the O-line to find some more holes in Week 10!
Cake
It's entirely possible that Cake could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With only 12 targets as a group this past week, their six wide receivers apparently spent the majority of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
