Coach Talk

Huss Monkeys
Well done, Huss Monkeys. Nice job assembling a lineup that blew the opponent out by over 89 points this past matchup.
CARDINAL & GOLD
Hey, it's possible that CARDINAL & GOLD could be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only nine total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (two WR, two TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
