Coach Talk

Straight Edge Society
Hey, we admire the confidence, Straight Edge Society. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (Drue Tranquill), while still earning a win. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be done.
River City Crush T-7
Well, River City Crush T-7, Week 8's problem was pretty easy to identify. Starting quite a few zero-point players in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all just put this in the rear-view mirror and assume it's not going to happen again?
