Coach Talk

Brian McDougall
Nice job, Brian McDougall. Props on assembling a lineup that posted more than 176 points this past matchup. We should take this win in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Manager-less Team, and continue the march towards the LEEIB Sports Private #561033 league title.
Manager-less Team
There's a decent chance that Manager-less Team might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just 12 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently spent the majority of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
