Coach Talk

Ucinn's Dominators
Listen, Ucinn's Dominators, we applaud you on the confidence. Playing a starter with negative points (the Philadelphia Eagles defense) while still earning a W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. All we ask is to please keep those shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Indy Mud Falcons
It's entirely possible that Indy Mud Falcons could be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just 20 targets combined in Week 5, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
