Coach Talk

Jinxproof
Yo, Jinxproof, you put the rest of the league on notice with this blowout. Not only did you win by 41+ points, you also jumped up a whopping three places in the league standings... directly into the thick of the playoff hunt
Alex Le's Team
Logging just four targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for Alex Le's Team should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
