Coach Talk

Loonies
Listen, Loonies, we do appreciate the confidence. It takes a certain kind of moxie to deploy, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Ronald Jones II and DeAndre Hopkins), while still getting 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?
colbert's Neat Team
There's a chance that colbert's Neat Team would be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just 23 targets as a group this past week, their seven wide receivers apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
