Coach Talk

Oakland Panthers
Hey Oakland Panthers, the good news is that we took this matchup by 136.52 points. Even better news is that we've proven we're better than this, as our scoring average through Week 8 stood at 422.91. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Vitor Kenji's Team
There's a possibility that Vitor Kenji's Team may be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only 17 targets combined this past week, their five wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
