Coach Talk

BADGERS
Three wide receivers, two running backs, one tight end, zero touchdowns: The six starting offensive position players on BADGERS combined to record a whopping 556 total yards. Not one of those players could get into the end zone in Week 1.
BHOMBERS
Fortunately, BHOMBERS, Week 1's problem isn't exactly a brain teaser. Choosing to start J.J. Watt in what was ultimately a tight fantasy matchup... we'll just put this in the rear-view mirror and assume something like this won't be happening again?
