Coach Talk

Sayers Monsters
We're wondering if the GM of Sayers Monsters was sweating bullets in this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 1.66 points, Ryan Succop (1-for-2 on the day) decided that going 2-for-2 on field goals would've been just a bit too dull. Remember kids, every point matters!
iCuRaRook
Fortunately, iCuRaRook, Week 4's problem isn't exactly a brain teaser. Going with David Bada, Nick Scott, and Diontae Johnson in a fantasy matchup where every point mattered... let's all just put this in the rear-view mirror and assume something like this won't be happening again?
