Coach Talk

WIZARD'S WARRIORS
Hey, it's good to be confident, WIZARD'S WARRIORS. It takes gumption to play a starter with zero points (Tyrell Williams), while still earning a W! All we ask is 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?
King Killers
The problem in Week 17 isn't exactly rocket science, King Killers. Choosing to start Kirk Cousins in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied 174.48 points... let's attempt to move forward with a full deck of cards next time.
