Coach Talk

FANTASY GURU
You know what, FANTASY GURU, we do certainly respect the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Joe Schobert), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant! We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Bill's Quality
Luckily, Week 8's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Bill's Quality. Choosing to start N'Keal Harry, Miles Sanders, and Jordan Hicks in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time.
