Coach Talk

Inner City Limits
Listen Inner City Limits, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped lately, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 245.86 points through Week 6, our crew has definitely proven that it's even stronger than the 208.4 we needed to win this past week!
G men
It's entirely possible that G men might be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just 10 total targets this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
