Coach Talk

C Kupp
Bravo, C Kupp. Fielding a team that won by more than 55 points this past matchup. Let's maintain this momentum as we step into our Week 2 matchup.
Xtra Pointz
It's entirely possible that Xtra Pointz may be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only 15 targets as a group in Week 1, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently contributed to their respective offenses by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
