Coach Talk

Mr. Phamtastic
You know what, Mr. Phamtastic, we do admire the confidence. Rolling out not one, but TWO players with zero points (Henry Ruggs III and Ronald Jones II), while still earning the W... that's borderline cocky.
DarwinThompsonLIVMVP
Hey, it's possible that DarwinThompsonLIVMVP might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just 15 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
