Coach Talk

Full Chubb
Props on assembling a lineup that posted 117.58 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. Let's keep this momentum rolling as we head into our next matchup in Week 10.
Purple Bishops
There's a decent chance that Purple Bishops may be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just nine targets combined in Week 9, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
