Coach Talk

Ivanman
Quick, Ivanman, get out the calculator... what happens when you multiply 11 times zero? A pretty lucky victory against K-Town Killer Wasps, if you ask us! Starting 11 players who didn't get any points this past week - how in the heck did we earn this victory?
K-Town Killer Wasps
It's entirely possible that K-Town Killer Wasps could be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only 25 targets combined in Week 9, their five wide receivers apparently spent the majority of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
