Coach Talk

Jokers Wild
Hey, we admire the confidence, Jokers Wild. It's a bold move to roll out not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (Jeremy Chinn, David Johnson, and Melvin Gordon III), while still getting the win. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it in the postseason and we'll be toast.
FronkleBerry Crunch
The problem in Week 13 isn't exactly rocket science, FronkleBerry Crunch. Choosing to start quite a few zero-point players in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to move forward with a full deck of cards next time?
