Coach Talk

Richard's Rad Team
You know Richard's Rad Team, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped lately, we'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 107.86 points through Week 6, our crew has obviously proven that it's even better than the 98.32 we needed for this past week's win!
Phil's Phenomenal Team
Hey, it's possible that Phil's Phenomenal Team may be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just seven targets combined in Week 7, their two wide receivers apparently contributed primarily by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
