Coach Talk

larry's Team
You know what, larry's Team, we do certainly respect the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Linval Joseph), while still getting the W... that's borderline arrogant. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Leader of the PACK and we're sure to be toast!
BIGGEE_DOWNWRAIDERS_4LIFE
Fortunately, BIGGEE_DOWNWRAIDERS_4LIFE, this week's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Starting quite a few zero-point players in a tough fantasy matchup... let's attempt to move forward with a full deck of cards next time?
