Coach Talk

L.A. Golds
You know what, L.A. Golds, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to start, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Will Fuller V and Eric Ebron), while still getting the win! All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be finished.
Schutt Up & Play
Fortunately, Schutt Up & Play, Week 14's problem was pretty easy to spot. Starting the Oakland Raiders defense in a tough fantasy matchup... let's aim to move forward with a full deck of cards next time.
