Coach Talk

Illmatic
Way to shrug off that two-match losing streak, Illmatic! Each fantasy GM is hit with adversity at some point or another... continue to keep your eyes out for what challenges lie ahead.
Guess not...
There's a possibility that Guess not... may be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just 10 total targets in Week 5, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently made the bulk of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
