Coach Talk

Hancocks Beast
Listen, Hancocks Beast, we do appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to start not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (Jamal Agnew, Marvin Jones Jr., and Ira Savage-Lewis), while still earning the W.
Saul Elizarraras
Fortunately, Saul Elizarraras, this week's problem is fairly easy to diagnose. Starting several zero-point players in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up nearly 27 points... let's try to move forward with a full deck of cards next time.
