Coach Talk

Go Vikes
Hey, it's good to be confident, Go Vikes. It's a bold move to roll out a player with zero points (Chris Jones), while still earning the win.
Big Ballers
The problem in Week 15 isn't exactly rocket science, Big Ballers. Going with Eric Ebron and Damien Harris in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up almost 189 points... let's attempt to play with a full deck of cards next time.
