Coach Talk

Password Is Taco
Listen, Password Is Taco, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Randall Cobb and Devonta Freeman), while still getting the win. Try those shenanigans next week against Deep Ballin' and we'll be toast.
Matthew's Rad Team
Hey, it's possible that Matthew's Rad Team may be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just one targets combined in Week 6, their three wide receivers apparently made the bulk of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
