Coach Talk

GX s99 NE Pats 20 25
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, GX s99 NE Pats 20 25. Deploying a starter with zero points (Alec Pierce), while still getting a W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists.
Cleveland Browns
Hey, it's possible that Cleveland Browns might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just 22 targets combined this past week, their eight starting pass-catchers (five WR, three TE) apparently spent most of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
