Coach Talk

Beefy Legends
Listen, Beefy Legends, we do certainly admire the confidence. It takes real guts to roll out not one, not two, but FOUR players with zero points while still getting the win. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're done.
Sharks
Fortunately, Sharks, this week's problem isn't exactly a brain teaser. Going with Derwin James Jr. in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll all just assume it won't happen again and move on?
