Coach Talk

Billsrback
We do admire the confidence this past week, Billsrback. It's a bold move to start not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (Gunner Olszewski, Olamide Zaccheaus, and Mike Gesicki), while still getting the W.
My Pitts Smell Bad
Hey, it's possible that My Pitts Smell Bad may be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only 30 total targets this past week, their seven wide receivers apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
