Coach Talk

Jay's Swag Team
You know what, Jay's Swag Team, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (J.K. Dobbins and Jerry Jeudy), while still earning the win. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're done.
Manager-less Team
Fortunately, Manager-less Team, this week's problem is fairly easy to diagnose. Choosing to start Ryan Fitzpatrick in a tough fantasy matchup... let's just assume something like this won't happen again and move on.
