Coach Talk

Aiyukidding Me
You know what, Aiyukidding Me, we do appreciate the confidence. Playing not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Tee Higgins and Dalton Schultz), while still earning the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Kamara chameleon
We'd suggest that you use this last matchup as a learning experience and try to re-focus for next week, Kamara chameleon. Get familiar with what the Yahoo! Fantasy Experts are saying and configure the strongest possible lineup in Week 6.
