Coach Talk

cheeseheads
Hey, we do admire the confidence this past week, cheeseheads. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (Corey Davis), while still earning the win! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we'll be toast.
Ram's Den
Hey, it's possible that Ram's Den might be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only nine 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.
