Coach Talk

Poldi Steelers
Deploying a starting crew that won by nearly 51 points this past week... we deem that to be a job done right.
Onside Kickers
There's a real possibility that Onside Kickers would be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With only eight targets combined this past week, their three wide receivers apparently made the bulk of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
