Coach Talk

carson's Team
You know what, carson's Team, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Stefon Diggs and Ty Montgomery), while still getting the W... that's playing with fire. We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Stéphane...'s Team
The problem this week isn't exactly rocket science, Stéphane...'s Team. Going with the New York Jets defense in what turned out to be a tight fantasy matchup... let's aim to play with a full deck of cards next time?
