Coach Talk

Fubar
You know what, Fubar, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes real moxie to deploy a player with zero points (Tyler Higbee), while still getting the W. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against 50 shades of whey and we're sure to be toast.
The Little Giants
Well, The Little Giants, Week 12's problem isn't exactly a brain teaser. Starting the Chicago Bears defense in a tough fantasy matchup... let's attempt to play with a full deck of cards next time?
