Coach Talk

Str8CashHomey
Listen, Str8CashHomey, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Yannick Ngakoue), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant! All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it in the postseason and we're done.
Joshua's Team
Luckily, Week 1's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Joshua's Team. Starting multiple zero-point players in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up over 22 points... let's all just put this behind us and move on.
