Coach Talk

Beefman
Getting the win is most important, Beefman, but we've also identified one spot where we should improve as a team: our running back was significantly overmatched this past week. Aaron Jones (53 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) logged only 5 points in Week 9, while the starting backfield for Touch Down Town showed us up by recording a score of 28. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 10!
Touch Down Town
Hey, it's possible that Touch Down Town may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With only nine total targets this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
