Coach Talk

keith's Team
You know what, keith's Team, we do certainly respect the confidence. It takes moxie to deploy not one, not two, but FIVE starters with zero points while still earning the win. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Jokers Wild and see what happens!
Abdulla Oblongota
Fortunately, Abdulla Oblongota, this week's problem was pretty easy to identify. Choosing to start quite a few zero-point players in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied almost 369 points... we'll all move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again?
