Coach Talk

Iggles
Hey, we admire the confidence, Iggles. Deploying a player with zero points (Travis Homer), while still earning a W... talk about arrogant. We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
JABarcher
It's entirely possible that JABarcher would be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only four total targets in Week 14, their three wide receivers apparently spent most of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
