Coach Talk

Thunderstorm
Listen, Thunderstorm, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Jared Cook), while still earning a W... that's borderline arrogant! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Aida Wildcats
Hey, it's possible that Aida Wildcats may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just six total targets this past week, their two wide receivers apparently spent most of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
