Coach Talk

COMMISH = IDIOT
Hey, it's good to be confident, COMMISH = IDIOT. Rolling out not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (Ty Johnson, Rodrigo Blankenship, and Ryan Griffin), while still earning a win... talk about arrogant! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Shouryaveer's Tip-Top Team
It's entirely possible that Shouryaveer's Tip-Top Team would be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just 29 targets combined in Week 16, their seven wide receivers apparently made the bulk of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
