Coach Talk

Hipster101
Well, we do admire the confidence this past week, Hipster101. It's a bold move to play not one, not two, but THREE starters with zero points (Chris Hogan, Adam Thielen, and Le'Veon Bell), while still getting the W. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be done.
The Fall-Guys
It's entirely possible that The Fall-Guys may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just three targets as a group this past week, their three wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
