Coach Talk
LongShotzz
You know what, LongShotzz, we do respect the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Stephen Gostkowski), while still earning the win... that's playing with fire! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we're finished.
Jason's Team
Well, this week's problem is pretty easy to identify, Jason's Team. Going with LeSean McCoy in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied more than 40 points... let's deem this to be a learning experience and all agree that it's not going to happen again.
