Coach Talk

Press Coverage
You know what, Press Coverage, we do respect the confidence. Rolling out not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (Amari Cooper, Donovan Peoples-Jones, and Barkevious Mingo), while still earning a W... that's playing with fire! All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we'll be toast.
Phil'S Giants #1
It's entirely possible that Phil'S Giants #1 would be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only 13 total targets this past week, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
