Coach Talk

Doc's Devils
We're curious if the GM of Doc's Devils was feeling a bit squeamish this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by a mere 2.35 points, Matt Prater (2-of-3 on the day) decided that going 3-for-3 on field goals would've been just a bit too boring. Remember kids, every point matters!
Night Hawk
Luckily, Week 9's problem was pretty easy to identify, Night Hawk. Starting Justin Jackson in a fantasy matchup where every point mattered... we'll just put this in the rear-view mirror and assume that something like this won't happen again.
