Coach Talk

RIO TOKYO
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, RIO TOKYO. Playing not one, not two, but SIX starters with zero points while still earning a win... talk about arrogant! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it in the postseason and we'll be finished.
Iā€™m winning this league šŸ–•šŸ¼
It's entirely possible that Iā€™m winning this league šŸ–•šŸ¼ would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just 18 total targets in Week 10, their seven starting pass-catchers (four WR, three TE) apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
