Coach Talk

Las Vegas Raiders
Listen Las Vegas Raiders, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has declined a bit recently, I'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 202.11 points through Week 5, our crew has certainly proven that it's even better than the 175.92 we needed for this past week's win!
Jacksonville Jaguars
It's entirely possible that Jacksonville Jaguars may be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just 13 total targets in Week 6, their seven starting pass-catchers (six WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
