Coach Talk

Grid Iron Kings
You know what, Grid Iron Kings, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes a special sort of moxie to start a player with zero points (Tyrod Taylor), while still getting the win. We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we'll be toast.
Sub-Mariners
Hey, it's possible that Sub-Mariners may be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only 11 targets combined in Week 2, their five wide receivers apparently contributed primarily by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
