Coach Talk

The Dak Attack
Listen, The Dak Attack, we applaud you on the confidence. Starting a starter with negative points (along with a zero-point player) while still getting a win... that's playing with fire. All we ask is to please keep those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Wrecking crew
The problem in Week 16 is pretty easy to identify, Wrecking crew. Choosing to start Dak Prescott, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, and Rontez Miles in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied more than 115 points... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
