Coach Talk
High Times
You know what, High Times, we do admire the confidence. It takes a certain kind of gumption to roll out, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Tyler Boyd and Damien Harris), while still earning the win.
Lazy Rivers
There's a real possibility that Lazy Rivers could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just 13 targets combined in Week 15, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
