Coach Talk

PATRIOTS RULE
Deploying a starting crew that won by over 142 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done. Let's keep this momentum going as we move on to our Week 5 matchup.
Cheese
There's a decent chance that Cheese would be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just 13 total targets in Week 4, their five wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
