Coach Talk

Geonosis Bay Packers
We're curious if the GM of Geonosis Bay Packers was sweating bullets in this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 0.56 points, Mason Crosby (1-of-2 on the day) decided that going 2-for-2 on field goals would've made things just a bit too dull. Remember folks, every point matters!
Washington Commanders
Hey, it's possible that Washington Commanders might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only 11 targets combined in Week 8, their five wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
