Coach Talk

Fantasy God
Listen, Fantasy God, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (Jordan Mason), while still earning the win. We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be finished.
Jersey Giants
Luckily, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Jersey Giants. Starting Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Deebo Samuel in what was ultimately a tight fantasy matchup... let's aim to play with a full deck of cards next time.
