When Jeff Saturday was named interim head coach of the Indianapolis Colts last week, there were obvious sacrifices he would have to make as he transitioned from an ESPN analyst to NFL coach.

One of those sacrifices was his fantasy football team. CBS reporter Melanie Collins revealed during Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders that he gave up control of his fantasy team to former NFL wide receiver Eric Decker:

There was no word on whether Decker was taking over a team rife with dysfunction as Saturday did with the Colts.

Saturday, who had never coached beyond the high school level, inherited a 3-5-1 squad that didn’t have an experienced play-caller on its staff after the firings of head coach Frank Reich and offensive coordinator Marcus Brady. Colts owner Jim Irsay’s bizarre press conference in which he defended the hiring of Saturday didn’t help matters, either.
