Coach Talk

Heather's Unreal Team
We do respect the confidence this past week, Heather's Unreal Team. It takes a certain kind of gumption to play a starter with zero points (the Kansas City Chiefs defense), while still earning the W. Try those shenanigans next week against Prashant's Ingeneous Team and see what happens.
Andrew's Astounding Team
Hey, it's possible that Andrew's Astounding Team may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only 15 targets as a group this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
