Coach Talk

Dipper’s Beaches
Hey, we do admire the confidence this past week, Dipper’s Beaches. Playing not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Dallas Goedert and Lamar Jackson), while still earning a W... talk about arrogant.
Golden Taint
It's entirely possible that Golden Taint might be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only zero targets combined this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (three WR, zero TE) apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
