Coach Talk

Boom in the Endzone
Bravo, Boom in the Endzone. Nice job fielding a lineup that won by 17 points this past matchup.
Melonville LaRues
There's a distinct possibility that Melonville LaRues would be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just 11 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.
