Coach Talk

drizz
You know what, drizz, we do respect the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Boston Scott), while still getting the win... that's playing with fire. All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we're toast.
MangoKid
Luckily, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science, MangoKid. Choosing to start Hunter Henry and Alex Collins in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied 213.46 points... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time.
