Coach Talk

STEP 9 🛐
Hey, it's good to be confident, STEP 9 🛐. It's a bold move to roll out, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Jonnu Smith and Marquez Valdes-Scantling), while still earning the win! 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?
-----
It's entirely possible that ----- may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only 22 total targets this past week, their eight starting pass-catchers (seven WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
