Coach Talk

GFL Wastemans♻️
Hey, we admire the confidence, GFL Wastemans♻️. It takes a certain sort of gumption to deploy a player with zero points (Nick Westbrook-Ikhine), while still getting a win.
Ring Chasers
Hey, it's possible that Ring Chasers would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just 13 targets combined in Week 15, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
