Coach Talk

Kansas City Chiefs
Listen, Kansas City Chiefs, we do appreciate the confidence. It takes a certain kind of gumption to start not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (Byron Pringle, Jaylen Watson, and Juwan Johnson), while still earning the W! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we'll be toast.
Chicago Bears
Well, Chicago Bears, this week's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Choosing to start Dyami Brown and Pete Werner in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time.
