Coach Talk

San Francisco 49'ers
Hey, it's good to be confident, San Francisco 49'ers. Starting a player with zero points (Samaje Perine), while still getting the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. We just ask you to please keep 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?
Los Angeles Rams
Well, Los Angeles Rams, Week 4's problem isn't exactly a brain teaser. Choosing to start Matthew Stafford in a tough fantasy matchup... let's just assume something like this won't happen again and move on?
