Coach Talk

Willie's Team
Hey, we do respect the confidence this past week, Willie's Team. Deploying a player with zero points (Delanie Walker), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Cassidy Curtis and see what happens.
jason's Team
Hey, it's possible that jason's Team might be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just zero targets as a group in Week 9, their two wide receivers apparently contributed to their respective offenses by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
