Coach Talk

Ground Game Keeper
Listen, Ground Game Keeper, we do appreciate the confidence. Playing a starter with zero points (Darren Fells), while still getting the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists! All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we're finished.
FantasyFootball Team
We were just taking it easy so our players could dominate in Week 8, right? The six offensive skill starters on FantasyFootball Team (three RBs, two WRs, one TE) collectively put up 370 yards and just one touchdown in Week 7. Our opponent's skill players definitely outperformed us by logging 524 yards and four scores.
