Coach Talk

Paul's Legit Team
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, Paul's Legit Team. Fielding a starter with negative points (the Los Angeles Chargers defense) while still earning the W... that's borderline cocky.
Redskins
Well, Redskins, Week 16's problem was fairly easy to diagnose. Choosing to start multiple zero-point players in a tough fantasy matchup... let's attempt to move forward with a full deck of cards next time?
