Coach Talk

Arkansas Iron Horses
Hey, we admire the confidence, Arkansas Iron Horses. Starting not one, not two, but FOUR players with zero points while still getting the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists! We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be toast.
Manzvikings
It's entirely possible that Manzvikings could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just 20 total targets this past week, their seven wide receivers apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
