Coach Talk

steamGOATS
Well, we do respect the confidence this past week, steamGOATS. Deploying a starter with zero points (Chris Hogan), while still earning the W... that's borderline arrogant! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we're finished.
out
Luckily, this week's problem was pretty easy to identify, out. Going with Cooper Kupp and Cam Newton in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up nearly 91 points... let's just put this behind us and move on.
