Coach Talk

Rajdersy z LV
We do admire the confidence this past week, Rajdersy z LV. Starting a player with zero points (Melvin Gordon III), while still earning the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we'll be finished.
Lutnia
Ugh, talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting RBs for Lutnia collectively logged just a pair of catches on four measly targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 14!
