Coach Talk

Wild
We're curious if the GM of Wild was feeling a bit squeamish this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 2.3 points, Tyler Bass (0-for-1 on the day) thought that going 1-for-1 on field goals would've made things just a bit too boring. Remember folks, every point matters!
Fuzzy Wuzzy's
Well, Fuzzy Wuzzy's, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science. Choosing to start Kyle Pitts and Jalen Hurts in what wound up being a tight fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
