Coach Talk

Stickmans Ducky
Whoa, that Colts secondary didn't see it coming! 33 completions on 41 attempts... good enough for an 80% completion percentage for Deshaun Watson. We know the GM of Stickmans Ducky has to be thankful for the attention to detail.
Pathetic _itches
The problem in Week 15 isn't exactly rocket science, Pathetic _itches. Choosing to start DeVante Parker in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied 205.54 points... let's all put this in the rear-view mirror and assume that something like this won't happen again?
