Coach Talk

Las Vegas Raiders
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Las Vegas Raiders. Rolling out not one, but TWO players with zero points (John Bates and Mike Thomas), while still getting a W... that's playing with fire! All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be toast.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Hey, it's possible that Tampa Bay Buccaneers would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With just six targets combined in Week 11, their three wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
