Coach Talk
The Fantasy Sensei
You know what, The Fantasy Sensei, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to roll out a starter with zero points (Jimmy Garoppolo), while still earning the win! We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Hi Mom
"Not seeing many opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for Hi Mom. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively saw a healthy 20 targets in Week 16. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group reeled in just 11 catches.
