Coach Talk

MangoKid
You know what, MangoKid, we do admire the confidence. Rolling out not one, but TWO players with zero points (Shaquil Barrett and Chris Jones), while still getting the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists.
BALLSWIN
There's a distinct possibility that BALLSWIN would be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just 14 total targets this past week, their four wide receivers apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
