Coach Talk

New York Giants
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, New York Giants. Deploying a starter with zero points (Kenny Golladay), while still getting the win... talk about arrogant. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Seattle Seahawks and see what happens!
Seattle Seahawks
Hey, it's possible that Seattle Seahawks could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just zero targets combined this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently made the bulk of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
