Coach Talk

Sherlock Mahomes
We do admire the confidence this past week, Sherlock Mahomes. Starting not one, but TWO players with zero points (Rashaad Penny and Royce Freeman), while still getting the W... that's borderline cocky.
Hey twitter world
Well, Hey twitter world, this week's problem is pretty easy to diagnose. Going with Cooper Kupp, Van Jefferson Jr., and Jake Elliott in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to move forward with a full deck of cards next time?
