Coach Talk

BLEEDGREEN
You know what, BLEEDGREEN, we do certainly admire the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Nick Folk), while still getting the win... talk about arrogant. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we'll be toast.
Makaala's Bold Team
As we move ahead to 2023, our coaching staff is just itching to get back out there again next year. Keep tabs on the Yahoo! Experts throughout the offseason for news and player developments, and don't let that pesky agent of yours talk you into holding out of the next fantasy season!
