Coach Talk

A-League Snipers
We do admire the confidence this past week, A-League Snipers. It takes real moxie to deploy a starter with zero points (Sammy Watkins), while still earning a W! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we'll be finished.
A-A-Ron
The problem this week isn't exactly rocket science, A-A-Ron. Choosing to start the New York Jets defense and Tre'Quan Smith in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up more than 120 points... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
