Coach Talk

The Mijo
Listen, The Mijo, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (Zach Pascal), while still getting a win! We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be finished.
FantasyFootballTeam
Hey, it's possible that FantasyFootballTeam could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only 10 targets combined in Week 16, their two wide receivers apparently spent the majority of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
