Coach Talk

My Name Is Prince
Hey, it's good to be confident, My Name Is Prince. It's a bold move to start not one, not two, but FOUR players with zero points while still earning the W! All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
BallGrabbers
It's entirely possible that BallGrabbers might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just zero targets combined this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
