Coach Talk

Mario's Team
Listen, Mario's Team, we do admire the confidence. It's a bold move to roll out not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (Shaquil Barrett, Trey Hendrickson, and Adam Thielen), while still getting the W. We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
bladen's Unreal Team
Fortunately, bladen's Unreal Team, this week's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Choosing to start Dante Fowler Jr. and Trey Flowers in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up nearly 25 points... we'll use this as an opportunity to get better and all agree that it won't happen again.
