Coach Talk

Baltimore Ravens
Hey, we admire the confidence, Baltimore Ravens. Starting not one, but TWO players with zero points (Odell Beckham Jr. and B.W. Webb), while still earning the win... talk about arrogant. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week and we're sure to be toast!
Atlanta Falcons
The problem this week isn't exactly rocket science, Atlanta Falcons. Starting Takkarist McKinley in a tough fantasy matchup... let's do a little analysis ahead of time in Week 15.
