Coach Talk

NationalFelonLeague
Wow, NationalFelonLeague, you really made a statement to your leaguemates with this dominant effort. In addition to a nearly 112-point victory, you also climbed from third place to first in the league standings!
terry numan
It's entirely possible that terry numan might be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only 13 total targets in Week 8, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
