Coach Talk

Per Adrenaline
Hey, it's good to be confident, Per Adrenaline. Deploying a starter with zero points (Antonio Brown), while still earning the W... that's playing with fire! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we'll be toast.
vipers
Hey, it's possible that vipers would be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just six total targets in Week 17, their three wide receivers apparently contributed primarily by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
