Coach Talk

GeeBow
Listen, GeeBow, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy not one, not two, but THREE starters with zero points (AJ Dillon, Darius Leonard, and Brian Johnson), while still earning the win.
Chase's Choice Team
Well, Chase's Choice Team, this week's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Going with James Conner in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up 223 points... let's aim to play with a full deck of cards next time?
