Coach Talk

Fluffy Turtles
You know what, Fluffy Turtles, we do respect the confidence. It takes real moxie to deploy a player with zero points (Myles Gaskin), while still earning the W.
Gofful
Hey, it's possible that Gofful may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only eight targets combined in Week 15, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently spent the majority of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
