Coach Talk

Contact
Solid work this past matchup, Contact! We'll give thanks for this bountiful victory, and now redirect our attention towards a stiff challenge in Rednecks.
Dallas Texans
It's entirely possible that Dallas Texans would be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just 11 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (four WR, zero TE) apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
