Coach Talk

craig's Official Team
We do respect the confidence this past week, craig's Official Team. It takes moxie to deploy a player with zero points (Matt Prater), while still earning the W. All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Do it in the postseason and we'll be toast.
Jan's Crazy Team
Talk about under-utilized: The starting RBs for Jan's Crazy Team collectively logged only two catches on four measly targets this past week. Instruct those offensive coordinators to set up some screen plays in Week 6!
