Coach Talk

Baltimore Ravens
Hey, we admire the confidence, Baltimore Ravens. It takes a certain sort of moxie to start not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (David Njoku, the San Francisco 49ers defense, and Trey Flowers), while still getting a win. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Indianapolis Colts and we'll be toast!
Dallas Cowboys
Fortunately, Dallas Cowboys, Week 3's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Starting Justin Reid and Danny Amendola in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied more than 228 points... let's all move on from this and assume that something like this won't happen again?
