Coach Talk

Wu-Tang
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Wu-Tang. It takes guts to start a player with negative points (plus a zero-point player) while still getting the win. All we ask is to please keep those shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
samuel's Team
There's a chance that samuel's Team could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only 26 total targets in Week 4, their eight starting pass-catchers (five WR, three TE) apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
