Coach Talk

Eat it!
Hey, we admire the confidence, Eat it!. It's a bold move to deploy, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (James White and Christian McCaffrey), while still earning the W. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against SIXBURGH and see what happens!
Bad Juju
The problem this week was pretty easy to identify, Bad Juju. Choosing to start the New Orleans Saints defense in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied over 94 points... we'll just assume something like this won't happen again and move on?
