Coach Talk

Demolition men
You know what, Demolition men, we do certainly respect the confidence. Starting a player with zero points (Alshon Jeffery), while still earning a W... talk about arrogant.
Vampires Rule
The problem in Week 14 isn't exactly rocket science, Vampires Rule. Choosing to start Matt Prater and Will Fuller V in a tough fantasy matchup... let's attempt to play with a full deck of cards next time.
