Coach Talk

SCLSU MudDogs
You know what, SCLSU MudDogs, we do admire the confidence. It's a bold move to start not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (Andy Isabella, Tre'Quan Smith, and Jordan Thomas), while still earning the win! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we'll be finished.
Monkey Business
There's a decent chance that Monkey Business could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only 29 targets combined this past week, their 10 starting pass-catchers (seven WR, three TE) apparently contributed primarily by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
