Coach Talk

Philadelphia Eagles
Hey, we admire the confidence, Philadelphia Eagles. It takes real moxie to start, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Nelson Agholor and Jalen Hurts), while still earning a W.
Cincinnati Bengals
As we move ahead to 2023, our coaching staff is super excited to get back out there again next year. Follow the Yahoo! Experts throughout the offseason for news and player developments, and don't let that pesky agent of yours talk you into a hold-out next fantasy season!
