Coach Talk

BartScottsBelievers
Listen, BartScottsBelievers, we do respect the confidence. Playing a starter with zero points (Brandon McManus), while still getting the W... that's borderline cocky.
I’ll CMCelf out
Hey, it's possible that I’ll CMCelf out could be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With just 16 targets combined this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
