Coach Talk

Saul Elizarraras
Hey, we admire the confidence, Saul Elizarraras. It takes a special kind of moxie to roll out, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Myles Jack and Cyrus Jones), while still earning a W! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're finished.
Patrick's Team
The problem in Week 16 isn't exactly rocket science, Patrick's Team. Starting quite a few zero-point players in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up nearly 33 points... let's just put this in the rear-view mirror and assume something like this won't be happening again.
