Coach Talk

Finkle & Einhorn
Listen, Finkle & Einhorn, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to roll out not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (Justin Reid, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Kyler Murray), while still getting the win. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against My Name Is Prince and we're sure to be toast!
Mammoths
There's a chance that Mammoths would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only 13 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
