Coach Talk

Dave's Team
You know what, Dave's Team, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes gumption to roll out a player with zero points (Nick Folk), while still getting the win! We just ask you to please limit 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?
Taylor Made
As we turn the page to 2023, our coaching staff is champing at the bit to get back out there again next year. Follow the Yahoo! Experts throughout the offseason for the best takes in the biz, and don't let that pesky agent of yours talk you into holding out of the next fantasy season!
