Coach Talk

Outlawz
Listen, Outlawz, we do certainly admire the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy a player with zero points (Mike Evans), while still getting a win. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
The Cosmos
There's a decent chance that The Cosmos could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just 14 total targets in Week 16, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
