Coach Talk

2 × Champ
Hey, we admire the confidence, 2 × Champ. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (Tyler Higbee), while still earning the W! All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Michael's Unreal Team
Listen up, Michael's Unreal Team! Trust us on this one, we've been in this business for quite a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, the fans get whiny, and your local beat writers get a little testy with distasteful columns. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning really does cure all.
