Coach Talk

Superman's Team
Listen, Superman's Team, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Playing a starter with zero points (Joe Mixon), while still earning the win... talk about arrogant! All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Rose's Nice Team
Hey, it's possible that Rose's Nice Team may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just nine total targets in Week 16, their three wide receivers apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
