Coach Talk

AppstateFanatics
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's acceptable to go 0-for-2: A hitter's line in baseball, the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the NBA Finals, and a double-fault in tennis. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? It's quite possible that Wil Lutz just kicked himself to the waiver wire after that sort of effort.
Not playing all qbs hoarded
Hey, it's possible that Not playing all qbs hoarded could be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just zero total targets in Week 3, their one starting pass-catchers (one WR, zero TE) apparently spent most of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
