Coach Talk

Philadelphia Eagles
Listen, Philadelphia Eagles, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to play, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Skyy Moore and Jordan Davis), while still earning the win! We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Jacksonville Jaguars
It's entirely possible that Jacksonville Jaguars could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just 15 targets combined in Week 2, their eight starting pass-catchers (seven WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
