Coach Talk

Smack down boyz
Nice job shrugging off that five-game losing skid, Smack down boyz! Every fantasy GM is sure to be met with adversity somewhere along the way... keep pushing forward and remember the 2020 season is far from over.
Fania's Team
There's a real chance that Fania's Team may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just 24 targets combined in Week 9, their six starting pass-catchers (five WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
