Coach Talk

Big Boss
Hey, we admire the confidence, Big Boss. Deploying a player with zero points (DeVante Parker), while still getting the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Show Me Your TDs
Hey, it's possible that Show Me Your TDs might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only three targets as a group this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
