Coach Talk

Rain☔ tampa bay ☔man
You know what, Rain☔ tampa bay ☔man, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy not one, not two, but THREE starters with zero points (Terrelle Pryor, Vernon Davis, and Sean Lee), while still earning a win. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it in the postseason and we'll be done.
Cincinnati Bengals
There's a real possibility that Cincinnati Bengals might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just 17 total targets this past week, their three wide receivers apparently contributed primarily by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
