Coach Talk

Ricky's Reasonable Team
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Ricky's Reasonable Team. Starting not one, but TWO players with zero points (Breece Hall and Jalen Hurts), while still getting the win... that's borderline cocky! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be finished.
Hail to the Commanders
Luckily, Week 16's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Hail to the Commanders. Choosing to start Nick Folk in a tough fantasy matchup... let's aim to play with a full deck of cards next time.
