Coach Talk

Kansas City Chiefs
Hey, we admire the confidence, Kansas City Chiefs. Playing not one, not two, but THREE starters with zero points (Mecole Hardman, Jace Sternberger, and Matt Milano), while still getting a W... that's playing with fire. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Detroit Lions and we'll be toast!
Chicago Bears
Fortunately, Week 6's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Chicago Bears. Starting Chris Herndon and Darius Leonard in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time.
