Coach Talk

Falconsfan4life
Listen, Falconsfan4life, we do admire the confidence. It takes a certain kind of moxie to roll out not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (, Tyrone Holmes, and Corey Nelson), while still getting the win. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
The Cobra Kai
Luckily, Week 5's problem isn't exactly rocket science, The Cobra Kai. Choosing to start Rashaad Penny in a tough fantasy matchup... let's do a little research before signing off on our Week 6 lineup.
