Coach Talk

Swizzle Stix
You know what, Swizzle Stix, we do admire the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (Devin McCourty), while still getting the win. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
jman's Swag Team
There's a decent chance that jman's Swag Team might be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just 14 total targets this past week, their four wide receivers apparently contributed to their respective offenses by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
