Coach Talk
Newbies Rule
Listen, Newbies Rule, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (George Kittle), while still getting the W... that's borderline cocky.
PwnStars
Fortunately, PwnStars, this week's problem was fairly easy to diagnose. Starting Ezekiel Elliott in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied nearly 173 points... we'll just move on from this and assume that something like this won't happen again.
