Coach Talk

Gotham Jokers 3
You know what, Gotham Jokers 3, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes real moxie to deploy not one, not two, but THREE starters with zero points (Tee Higgins, Foster Moreau, and Zaire Franklin), while still getting the win. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Ray Nitschke
Well, Ray Nitschke, this week's problem isn't exactly a brain teaser. Starting multiple zero-point players in a tough fantasy matchup... let's attempt to play with a full deck of cards next time.
