Coach Talk

Green Bay Packers
Hey, we admire the confidence, Green Bay Packers. It's a bold move to roll out not one, not two, but FOUR players with zero points while still getting a W. We just ask you to please limit 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?
New York Giants
It's entirely possible that New York Giants could be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only 12 targets as a group this past week, their five wide receivers apparently contributed to their teams' offenses by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
