Coach Talk

da squirts
Listen, da squirts, we do respect the confidence. Starting not one, but TWO players with zero points (Donte Jackson and Poona Ford), while still getting the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against BallGrabbers and we're sure to be toast!
Manager-less Team
Hey, it's possible that Manager-less Team may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only 12 targets combined this past week, their three wide receivers apparently contributed to their respective offenses by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
