Coach Talk

Philadelphia Eagles
Well done, Philadelphia Eagles. Deploying a starting crew that won by more than 78 points this past matchup. Let's keep this momentum as we move on to our Week 15 matchup.
Las Vegas Raiders
Well, Las Vegas Raiders, this week's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Choosing to start Kayvon Thibodeaux in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll all just put this in the rear-view mirror and assume something like this won't be happening again?
