Coach Talk

Patriot Killer
You know what, Patriot Killer, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Starting a player with zero points (DeVante Parker), while still getting the W... that's borderline arrogant.
LIONPWR
As we move ahead to 2022, our coaching staff is just itching to get back out there again next year. Keep tabs on the Yahoo! Experts throughout the offseason for the best takes in the biz, and don't let that pesky agent of yours talk you into a hold-out next fantasy season!
