Coach Talk

joseph haas's Team
Only two field goals on four attempts? It's quite possible that Jason Myers just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after that sort of performance.
I've got a thielen
Fortunately, I've got a thielen, Week 9's problem isn't exactly rocket science. Going with Adam Thielen in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied nearly 91 points... let's just move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again.
