Coach Talk

Marth’s
Mission accomplished, Marth’s. Good work deploying a starting crew that earned 130.49 points this past week.
Ebel’s
There's a real chance that Ebel’s may be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just five total targets this past week, their two wide receivers apparently contributed primarily by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
