Coach Talk
Indy.Ant
We do admire the confidence this past week, Indy.Ant. Deploying a player with zero points (James Conner), while still getting the W... that's borderline arrogant. Try those shenanigans next week and see what happens.
GibraltarRock
It's entirely possible that GibraltarRock would be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only five targets as a group in Week 15, their three wide receivers apparently spent most of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
