Coach Talk

V Jacksonville Jags
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, V Jacksonville Jags. Deploying not one, not two, but THREE starters with zero points (Ian Thomas, Terrance Williams, and David Irving), while still earning the win... that's borderline cocky. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Houston Texans
It's entirely possible that Houston Texans may be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just 15 total targets in Week 4, their four wide receivers apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
