Coach Talk

bmwats's Dazzling Team
Whoa, bmwats's Dazzling Team, you really made a statement to your leaguemates with this explosive showing. Along with a 65-point victory, you also climbed from sixth place to third in the league standings... directly into the thick of postseason contention
Carl's Team
Hey, it's possible that Carl's Team would be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only 11 targets as a group in Week 5, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently contributed to their respective offenses by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
