Coach Talk

Kansas City Chiefs
Listen, Kansas City Chiefs, we do admire the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (George Karlaftis), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we're finished.
Los Angeles Rams
Hey, it's possible that Los Angeles Rams could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With only 15 targets combined in Week 11, their five wide receivers apparently contributed primarily by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
