Coach Talk

The Transformers *Commissioner
You know what, The Transformers *Commissioner, we do admire the confidence. Rolling out not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (Pat Freiermuth, Jeff Wilson Jr., and Kenny Pickett), while still earning the W... that's borderline cocky.
Sky Captain
Luckily, Week 15's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Sky Captain. Choosing to start quite a few zero-point players in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up 8,197 points... we'll all move on from this and assume that something like this won't happen again?
