Coach Talk

FANTASY GURU
Hey, we admire the confidence, FANTASY GURU. Deploying a starter with zero points (Roquan Smith), while still getting the win... that's borderline arrogant. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
BLACKNGOLD II
With not a single target thrown in their direction this past week the starting running backs for BLACKNGOLD II should investigate why their QBs are giving them the cold shoulder.
