Coach Talk

IF I DIE I DIE
Hey, we admire the confidence, IF I DIE I DIE. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (DeVonta Smith), while still getting a W. All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Daisy and the Bug
Fortunately, Daisy and the Bug, this week's problem is fairly easy to identify. Starting Cole Kmet in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied over 120 points... let's attempt to play with a full deck of cards next time?
