Coach Talk

FantasyFootballTeam
Listen, FantasyFootballTeam, we do certainly respect the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Denzel Mims), while still earning the W... that's borderline cocky! We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we'll be toast.
Tigers
With only three catches this past week, the starting RBs for Tigers should look into why their quarterbacks are giving them the cold shoulder.
