Coach Talk

Fly Eagles Fly
Listen Fly Eagles Fly, the good news is that we took this matchup by nearly 33 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're better than this, as our scoring average through Week 7 stood at 125.86. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
jahman3000's Team
There's a possibility that jahman3000's Team may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only 10 total targets this past week, their three wide receivers apparently contributed to their teams' offenses by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
