Coach Talk

Jacksonville JAGUAR
Listen, Jacksonville JAGUAR, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Starting not one, not two, but FOUR players with zero points while still earning the W... that's borderline cocky. All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we're done.
Washington 🏈 Team
It's entirely possible that Washington 🏈 Team might be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only six total targets in Week 2, their seven starting pass-catchers (five WR, two TE) apparently spent the majority of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
