Coach Talk

Da Bears
Hey, we admire the confidence, Da Bears. It takes a certain sort of guts to roll out not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (Kadarius Toney, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, and Mark Ingram II), while still getting a win! We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it in the postseason and we'll be finished.
Davao Death Squad
Well, Week 17's problem is pretty easy to identify, Davao Death Squad. Choosing to start James Conner and Lamar Jackson in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all just put this in the rear-view mirror and assume it's not going to happen again.
