Coach Talk

The Dominators
You know what, The Dominators, we do certainly admire the confidence. It takes moxie to roll out a starter with zero points (D'Andre Swift), while still getting the W! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're done.
Eamonn
There's a chance that Eamonn could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just 16 targets as a group this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
