Coach Talk

Mr. McGibblets
Yo, Mr. McGibblets, you really made a statement to the rest of the league with this blowout. In addition to a 24.32-point victory, you also climbed from fifth place to third in the league standings... squarely into the thick of the playoff hunt
Arguably Agreeable Team
It's entirely possible that Arguably Agreeable Team might be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only 11 targets as a group this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently made the bulk of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
