Coach Talk

Houston Texans
Props on assembling a lineup that won by 21.62 points this past week. We did what was needed and took care of business. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Chicago Bears, take this win in stride, and continue the march towards a fantasy championship.
Chicago Bears
Hey, it's possible that Chicago Bears could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just 15 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently contributed to their respective offenses by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
