Coach Talk

WilburForce
You know what, WilburForce, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Kyler Murray), while still getting a W... that's playing with fire! 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?
bunkstraps
Well, bunkstraps, this week's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Choosing to start multiple zero-point players in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied 129 points... let's all just assume something like this won't happen again and move on?
