Coach Talk

Lazy Laughing Lizard
You know what, Lazy Laughing Lizard, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Andy Dalton), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant. It's a bold way to conclude the season and the fantasy gods were looking out for you this week!
ROCK-n-REDRAIDERS
The problem this week was pretty easy to diagnose, ROCK-n-REDRAIDERS. Starting Kareem Hunt in what was ultimately a tight fantasy matchup... let's all just put this in the rear-view mirror and assume something like this won't be happening again?
