Coach Talk

TheNigerianNightmare
Whoa, TheNigerianNightmare, you put the rest of the league on notice with this explosive showing. Not only did you win by 2,401 points, you also jumped up from 11th place to ninth in the league standings. Nice job!
Brad's Team
Hey, it's possible that Brad's Team may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just nine total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
