Coach Talk

SECFOR Sixers
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, SECFOR Sixers. Starting a player with negative points (the San Francisco 49ers defense) while still getting the W... talk about arrogance. All we ask is to please keep those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
GreatPlainsDrifters
There's a possibility that GreatPlainsDrifters would be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only 18 total targets this past week, their four wide receivers apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
