Coach Talk

TeamBrickLesnar
Hey, we do admire the confidence this past week, TeamBrickLesnar. Rolling out not one, not two, but EIGHT players with zero points while still getting the W... talk about arrogant! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we'll be toast.
BeastMode Training
Hey, it's possible that BeastMode Training could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only 10 targets combined this past week, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
