Coach Talk

Jaydos
You know what, Jaydos, we do respect the confidence. Starting a player with zero points (Robbie Gould), while still getting the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists! We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Hussein's Legit Team
Well, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Hussein's Legit Team. Going with Jimmy Garoppolo in a tough fantasy matchup... let's do a bit of analysis before we officially submit our Week 6 lineup?
