Coach Talk

Beats By Ray
Wow, Beats By Ray, you put the rest of the league on notice with this dominant effort. Not only did you win by 31.74 points, you also climbed from ninth place to seventh in the league standings!
Joey's Team
Hey, it's possible that Joey's Team might be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only 15 total targets in Week 3, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently spent the majority of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
