Coach Talk

LumberJack-LaynWood
Hey, it's good to be confident, LumberJack-LaynWood. It takes real moxie to start a player with zero points (Frank Gore), while still earning the win.
TurnYaHeadAndCough
It's entirely possible that TurnYaHeadAndCough could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just 13 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
