Coach Talk

Dogs
Hey, it's good to be confident, Dogs. Deploying a player with zero points (Khari Willis), while still earning a W... talk about arrogant. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Press Coverage
Fortunately, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Press Coverage. Starting quite a few zero-point players in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied nearly 393 points... let's try to move forward with a full deck of cards next time.
