Coach Talk

Tall City Hawgs
Listen, Tall City Hawgs, we do appreciate the confidence. Starting a player with zero points (Demaryius Thomas), while still getting the win... that's playing with fire! All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
NoDirtyLandry
Fortunately, Week 11's problem is pretty easy to spot, NoDirtyLandry. Choosing to start Marvin Jones Jr. in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up 134 points... let's aim to play with a full deck of cards next time?
