Coach Talk

WindyCity Rebels
Listen, WindyCity Rebels, we do respect the confidence. It takes real moxie to deploy a starter with zero points (Darius Slayton), while still earning the win. Try those shenanigans next week against EastRock and we'll be toast.
Skins on the Warpath
Hey, it's possible that Skins on the Warpath might be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just 18 targets combined in Week 3, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
