Coach Talk

San Francisco 49'ers
Listen, San Francisco 49'ers, we certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes true guts to play a starter with negative points (Jimmy Garoppolo) while still earning the W. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Los Angeles Rams
Hey, it's possible that Los Angeles Rams could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just eight targets as a group in Week 13, their four wide receivers apparently spent most of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
