Coach Talk

New York Giants
Well New York Giants, the good news is that we won this matchup by more than 19 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this, as our scoring average through Week 7 stood at 167.84. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Tampa Bay Ducks
It's entirely possible that Tampa Bay Ducks may be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just seven targets combined this past week, their four wide receivers apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
