Coach Talk

The One And Only
You know what, The One And Only, we do respect the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Deebo Samuel), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant.
Don’t do it!
It's entirely possible that Don’t do it! could be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just eight targets combined this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
