Coach Talk

Brewmasters
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Brewmasters. Starting a player with zero points (Elijah Moore), while still earning a W... that's playing with fire! We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Redlegs
There's a decent chance that Redlegs could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With just 20 total targets in Week 8, their six starting pass-catchers (five WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
