Coach Talk

Yokohama Zets
Yo, Yokohama Zets, you really made a statement to the rest of the league with this explosive showing. Not only did you win by more than 38 points, you also climbed from sixth place to fourth in the league standings!
ender's TeamC
It's entirely possible that ender's TeamC may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just 11 total targets in Week 3, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
