Coach Talk

Q
Hey, Q, whip out the calculator... what's the result when you multiply six times zero? A pretty lucky victory against k's Fabulous Team, if you ask us! Starting a half-dozen players who didn't record any points this past week - how did we get this victory?
k's Fabulous Team
Hey, it's possible that k's Fabulous Team may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With only 40 total targets this past week, their 10 starting pass-catchers (seven WR, three TE) apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
