Coach Talk

The Rubensteins
Listen, The Rubensteins, we certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes moxie to roll out a starter with negative points (plus multiple zero-point players) while still getting the W. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Mike's Team
It's entirely possible that Mike's Team might be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With only 17 targets as a group in Week 11, their five wide receivers apparently made the bulk of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
