Coach Talk

Chicago Bears
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Chicago Bears. It takes real moxie to start a player with zero points (Pete Werner), while still earning the W. All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we'll be toast.
Las Vegas Raiders
There's a real chance that Las Vegas Raiders could be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just 15 total targets this past week, their seven wide receivers apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
