Coach Talk

Washington 🏈 Team
Hey, we admire the confidence, Washington 🏈 Team. Starting not one, but TWO players with zero points (Jason Witten and Joe Flacco), while still getting the win... talk about arrogant. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Chicago Bears
Hey, it's possible that Chicago Bears would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With only 13 targets as a group in Week 13, their four wide receivers apparently spent the majority of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
