Coach Talk

Footie McFootball Face
You know what, Footie McFootball Face, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Lamar Jackson), while still earning the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists.
Dawn Of The Blands
It's entirely possible that Dawn Of The Blands might be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just 14 total targets in Week 15, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently spent the majority of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
