Coach Talk

R.I.P. EVH
Hey, we admire the confidence, R.I.P. EVH. Rolling out not one, not two, but SIX players with zero points while still getting the win... talk about arrogant. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we'll be done.
FreshPrinceOfHelaire
There's a decent chance that FreshPrinceOfHelaire might be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only three total targets this past week, their five wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
