Coach Talk

B's Sensational Team
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, B's Sensational Team. Deploying a starter with zero points (Sammy Watkins), while still earning the win... that's playing with fire. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week and we'll be toast.
The Iron Fist
There's a real possibility that The Iron Fist could be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only six total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
