Coach Talk

Pop's
Hey, we do admire the confidence this past week, Pop's. It takes moxie to deploy a starter with zero points (Jalen Reagor), while still earning the win. We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Skins on the Warpath
There's a decent chance that Skins on the Warpath could be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just 10 total targets in Week 13, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
