Coach Talk

John's Team
Hey, we admire the confidence, John's Team. Deploying a starter with zero points (Clyde Edwards-Helaire), while still getting the W... that's playing with fire! All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Larry's Team
Whoa now, talk about under-utilized: As a group, the starting RBs for Larry's Team collectively recorded zero catch on only one target this past week. Get those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 14!
