Coach Talk

FANTASY GURU
Listen, FANTASY GURU, we do appreciate the confidence. It takes guts to roll out a starter with zero points (Roquan Smith), while still getting the W.
Strikers
The problem in Week 15 is pretty easy to spot, Strikers. Starting Marcus Williams in what turned out to be a tight fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
