Coach Talk

Whackers
You know what, Whackers, we do admire the confidence. It's a bold move to roll out, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Jeff Wilson Jr. and Deebo Samuel), while still getting the W.
The Dogs of War
Well, The Dogs of War, Week 15's problem isn't exactly rocket science. Choosing to start Pat Freiermuth and Laviska Shenault Jr. in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up 182.55 points... let's all just put this in the rear-view mirror and assume that something like this won't happen again?
