Coach Talk

YvetteR's Swell Team
Listen, YvetteR's Swell Team, we do certainly respect the confidence. It's a bold move to start, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Nick Folk and Kyler Murray), while still getting the W. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Jonathan's Wondrous Team
Well, Jonathan's Wondrous Team, this week's problem is pretty easy to spot. Starting Javonte Williams in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up 92.5 points... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
