Coach Talk

RIO TOKYO
Quick, RIO TOKYO, whip out the calculator... what happens when you multiply six times zero? A pretty lucky win against Billsrback, if you ask me! Starting a half-dozen players who didn't record any points this past week - how in the heck did we earn this win?
Billsrback
Hey, it's possible that Billsrback would be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only 14 total targets this past week, their seven wide receivers apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
