Coach Talk

Play With Fire
Listen, Play With Fire, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Starting not one, not two, but SIX players with zero points while still getting the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be finished.
The wtf team
The problem this week isn't exactly rocket science, The wtf team. Going with several zero-point players in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up 260 points... let's attempt to move forward with a full deck of cards next time.
