Coach Talk

Buffalo Bills
Well, we do admire the confidence this past week, Buffalo Bills. It's a bold move to start a player with zero points (Gabe Davis), while still earning the win! We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Arizona Cardinals
Well, Arizona Cardinals, this week's problem is pretty easy to identify. Choosing to start Cole Kmet in what turned out to be a tight fantasy matchup... let's attempt to play with a full deck of cards next time.
