Coach Talk

Deeboz Nutz
Good work, Deeboz Nutz. Assembling a lineup that tallied over 152 points this past week.
Cole's Team
It's entirely possible that Cole's Team might be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only eight total targets this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
