Coach Talk

Worst Poker Game Evr
Listen, Worst Poker Game Evr, we applaud you on the confidence. It takes a special kind of gumption to deploy a starter with negative points (the Jacksonville Jaguars defense) while still getting a W. All we ask is to please keep those shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Bake & Take
The problem this week was pretty easy to spot, Bake & Take. Choosing to start Geronimo Allison in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again.
