Coach Talk

Diggin Heat
You know what, Diggin Heat, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Odell Beckham Jr.), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant! All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it in the postseason and we'll be done.
Moon Rabbits
Hey, it's possible that Moon Rabbits might be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just 12 total targets in Week 1, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
