Coach Talk

Show Me Your TD’s
Listen, Show Me Your TD’s, we applaud you on the confidence. Starting a player with negative points (plus two zero-point players) while still getting a W... talk about arrogance. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
BucTowN
It's entirely possible that BucTowN might be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just 10 total targets this past week, their four wide receivers apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
