Coach Talk

Midnight Woody
Hey, we admire the confidence, Midnight Woody. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (Hunter Henry), while still earning the win. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we're finished.
Jonathan's Expert Team
The problem this week was pretty easy to diagnose, Jonathan's Expert Team. Choosing to start the Denver Broncos defense and Tyler Lockett in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied 125.58 points... let's all just assume something like this won't happen again and move on.
