Coach Talk

BigDaddy and Babydoll
You know what, BigDaddy and Babydoll, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Clyde Edwards-Helaire), while still getting the W... that's playing with fire.
Dirty South
The problem this week is pretty easy to identify, Dirty South. Choosing to start Nick Folk and Gerald Everett in a tough fantasy matchup... let's attempt to move forward with a full deck of cards next time?
