Coach Talk

Michael
Hey, it's good to be confident, Michael. It takes real moxie to play a starter with zero points (the Indianapolis Colts defense), while still earning the win. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we'll be finished.
SPARTICUS
While it is that spooky time of the year, we'd prefer to see fewer tricks and more treats from your fantasy squad, SPARTICUS... 111.8 points was just a little too ghoulish for our liking.
