Coach Talk

Hustlers
Listen, Hustlers, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Michael Crabtree), while still getting the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week and we'll be toast.
Avechuchos
Hey, it's possible that Avechuchos may be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just 17 total targets this past week, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
