Coach Talk

big bOSS
Listen, big bOSS, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy a player with zero points (Tee Higgins), while still getting the win. All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we'll be finished.
downtown
Well, downtown, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science. Starting Alexander Mattison, multiple zero-point players in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up almost 644 points... let's attempt to play with a full deck of cards next time.
