Coach Talk

Sad Sacks
Listen, Sad Sacks, we certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes real gumption to roll out a starter with negative points (Quincy Enunwa) while still earning a W. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
WTF Niagara Falls
It's entirely possible that WTF Niagara Falls would be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only 15 total targets in Week 6, their five wide receivers apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
