Coach Talk

RT17
Hey, it's good to be confident, RT17. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (Robby Anderson), while still earning a win! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we're finished.
Beefy Legends
The problem in Week 8 isn't exactly rocket science, Beefy Legends. Going with multiple zero-point players in a tough fantasy matchup... let's just assume it won't happen again and move on?
