Coach Talk

Yakattack Highrollers
Kudos to you, Yakattack Highrollers. Fielding a team that won by almost 126 points this past matchup. We should maintain this momentum as we move on to what's sure to be an exceedingly difficult matchup in Week 3.
brandon's Team
Hey, it's possible that brandon's Team may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With only 20 targets as a group this past week, their five starting pass-catchers (three WR, two TE) apparently contributed to their respective offenses by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
