Coach Talk

Hou Texans (GA)
Hey, it's good to be confident, Hou Texans (GA). Playing not one, but TWO starters with zero points (DeVante Parker and Darren Fells), while still earning a W... talk about arrogant. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we'll be toast.
GB Packers (JP)
Well, GB Packers (JP), this week's problem isn't exactly a brain teaser. Going with Davante Adams and Jimmy Graham in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up 44 points... let's all just assume something like this won't happen again and move on?
