Coach Talk

Mark's Magnificent Team
You know what, Mark's Magnificent Team, we do admire the confidence. It takes a certain sort of gumption to deploy a starter with zero points (Lamar Jackson), while still getting a W. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're done.
Danny Dimes
Hey, it's possible that Danny Dimes could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only 16 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
