Coach Talk
the scoring machine
Nice job assembling a lineup that won by over 10 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. Let's tip our cap to the GM of RidgeRunners, take this W in stride, and continue the march towards a fantasy championship.
RidgeRunners
It's entirely possible that RidgeRunners would be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just seven targets combined this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
