Coach Talk
Strikers
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Strikers. It's a bold move to deploy a player with zero points (Adoree' Jackson), while still getting the win. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Donald's Team and see what happens.
Elliott's Team
It's entirely possible that Elliott's Team may be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just 14 targets combined in Week 3, their four wide receivers apparently spent most of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
