Coach Talk

pckatz17's Awesome Team
Listen, pckatz17's Awesome Team, we do certainly respect the confidence. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (Nick Folk), while still earning the win.
Matthew's last year
The problem in Week 16 isn't exactly rocket science, Matthew's last year. Choosing to start Tyler Lockett in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll all assume it won't happen again and move on?
