Coach Talk

bunkstraps
Hey, we admire the confidence, bunkstraps. Playing a starter with zero points (JuJu Smith-Schuster), while still earning the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against WilburForce and see what happens!
LarryDavidShrimp
Well, LarryDavidShrimp, Week 6's problem isn't exactly a brain teaser. Choosing to start Amari Cooper in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up 128 points... let's just put this in the rear-view mirror and assume something like this won't be happening again.
