Coach Talk

Soupsie Iannuzzi
Hey, we do admire the confidence this past week, Soupsie Iannuzzi. Deploying a starter with zero points (Desmond Ridder), while still earning the win... that's borderline cocky. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Pai Mei and we're sure to be toast!
Jokers Wild
It's entirely possible that Jokers Wild would be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only 12 total targets this past week, their four wide receivers apparently contributed primarily by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
