Coach Talk

DILLI DILLY
Hey, we admire the confidence, DILLI DILLY. It takes a special sort of moxie to roll out a starter with zero points (Jerry Jeudy), while still earning the W. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Gotham Giants and we're sure to be toast.
M.A.S.K.
Fortunately, M.A.S.K., this week's problem was fairly easy to identify. Going with Chris Jones in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied more than 168 points... we'll use this as a learning experience and all agree that it's not going to happen again.
