Coach Talk

Hancocks Beast
Hey, Hancocks Beast, whip out the calculator... what happens when you multiply eight times zero? A pretty lucky victory against Joshua's Team, if you ask me! Starting eight players who didn't get any points this past week - are you sure we deserved this victory?
Joshua's Team
Hey, it's possible that Joshua's Team might be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only 19 targets as a group in Week 3, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
