Coach Talk

Sunshine
Hey, we do respect the confidence this past week, Sunshine. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (Maxx Crosby), while still earning a W.
Manglers
The problem in Week 15 was pretty easy to spot, Manglers. Starting Tyler Boyd in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
