Coach Talk

WannaBes
You know what, WannaBes, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Robbie Gould), while still getting the win... that's playing with fire! We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be toast.
Earth-99 StL Rams
The problem this week is pretty easy to diagnose, Earth-99 StL Rams. Choosing to start Jerry Jeudy in what was ultimately a tight fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time.
