Coach Talk

Dallas Cowboys
Hey, it's good to be confident, Dallas Cowboys. Rolling out not one, but TWO players with zero points (Fred Warner and David Johnson), while still getting the win... that's playing with fire. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be toast.
Washington 🏈 Team
It's entirely possible that Washington 🏈 Team may be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only 18 targets combined this past week, their seven starting pass-catchers (five WR, two TE) apparently spent most of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
