Coach Talk

WILLFINITY GAUNTLET
Listen, WILLFINITY GAUNTLET, we do appreciate the confidence. Starting not one, not two, but FOUR players with zero points while still earning a W... talk about arrogant.
The Justice League
Yo, The Justice League, what'd your wideouts do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? Accumulating only 25 total targets in Week 15, our six wide receivers obviously got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
