Coach Talk

downtown
Hey, it's good to be confident, downtown. Deploying not one, not two, but FIVE starters with zero points while still earning the win... that's playing with fire! We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it in the postseason and we're toast.
Kings of blade
Well, Kings of blade, Week 16's problem isn't exactly rocket science. Choosing to start Jonathan Taylor and Trevor Siemian in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied over 342 points... let's all assume it won't happen again and move on?
