Coach Talk

Fantasy Manatee
Listen, Fantasy Manatee, we applaud you on the confidence. Starting a starter with negative points (Nyheim Hines) while still getting the win... that's borderline arrogant. 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.
Balls Deep
With only three receptions this past week, the starting RBs for Balls Deep clearly should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more often.
