Coach Talk

San Diego Crush
Bravo, San Diego Crush. Good work assembling a lineup that tallied nearly 130 points this past matchup. We should tip our cap to the GM of NMSaints, take this W in stride, and continue the march towards the Shane Falco Invitational league championship.
NMSaints
It's entirely possible that NMSaints might be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just 13 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (four WR, zero TE) apparently spent the majority of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
