Coach Talk

Kansas City Chiefs
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Kansas City Chiefs. It takes gumption to roll out, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Ryan Succop and Chris Jones), while still earning the W.
New York Jets
Fortunately, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science, New York Jets. Choosing to start Jadeveon Clowney, Terrell Lewis, and Nate Hobbs in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up almost 191 points... let's just move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again.
