Coach Talk

Baltimore Ravens
You know Baltimore Ravens, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped lately, we'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 229.84 points through Week 8, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 186.96 we needed for this past week's win!
San Francisco 49'ers
It's entirely possible that San Francisco 49'ers would be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only 24 targets combined this past week, their seven starting pass-catchers (six WR, one TE) apparently contributed to their teams' offenses by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
