Coach Talk

Philodox Eagles
Deploying a lineup that produced 70.72 points this past week... we deem that to be a job well done.
Konan Packers
There's a decent chance that Konan Packers may be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only three total targets this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
