Coach Talk

Sad Sacks
You know what, Sad Sacks, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes a special kind of gumption to play not one, not two, but FOUR starters with zero points while still getting the W! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be finished.
samuel's Team
There's a decent chance that samuel's Team may be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only five targets as a group in Week 14, their five wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
