Coach Talk

todd's Team
Hey, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, todd's Team. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (Devin Bush), while still getting a win! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're done.
Easy Money
Fortunately, Easy Money, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science. Starting Calvin Ridley in a tough fantasy matchup... let's aim to play with a full deck of cards next time.
