Coach Talk

Shane's Swell Team
You know what, Shane's Swell Team, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Graham Gano), while still getting a win... that's borderline cocky. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
tim's Top-Notch Team
Luckily, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science, tim's Top-Notch Team. Starting Aaron Jones in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up over 130 points... let's aim to play with a full deck of cards next time?
