Coach Talk

DYNASTY
We do admire the confidence this past week, DYNASTY. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (Greg Olsen), while still earning the W! We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be toast.
GRAVE DIGGER
Whoa now, talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting RBs for GRAVE DIGGER collectively registered four catches on just five targets this past week. Instruct those offensive coordinators to dial up some screen plays in Week 9!
