Coach Talk

'T-N-T' Treat'§
Hey, quick math, 'T-N-T' Treat'§... what's the result when you multiply eight times zero? A pretty lucky victory against LongShotzz, if you ask me! Starting eight players who didn't record any points this past week - how did we get this victory?
LongShotzz
It's entirely possible that LongShotzz would be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just 18 targets as a group this past week, their six starting pass-catchers (five WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
