Coach Talk

One--Eyed--Willie
Hey, it's good to be confident, One--Eyed--Willie. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (Chris Thompson), while still getting the win. Try those shenanigans next week and we'll be toast!
Cowboys
Well, Cowboys, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science. Going with Wesley Woodyard in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time.
