Coach Talk

5Fingers2YoFace
Hey, it's good to be confident, 5Fingers2YoFace. Deploying a starter with zero points (Sammy Watkins), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant. All we ask is to please keep 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?
Pack Rats
Hey, it's possible that Pack Rats may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only 18 total targets in Week 4, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently spent most of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
