Coach Talk

Return of the Mom Slayer
We do admire the confidence this past week, Return of the Mom Slayer. Deploying a starter with zero points (Vita Vea), while still getting the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we're finished.
Living on Burrowed Time
Luckily, Week 10's problem was pretty easy to diagnose, Living on Burrowed Time. Choosing to start Kwity Paye in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up over 253 points... we'll use this as a learning experience and agree that it won't happen again?
