Coach Talk

Indianapolis Colts
You know what, Indianapolis Colts, we do certainly respect the confidence. Starting not one, not two, but SIX players with zero points while still getting the win... talk about arrogant! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Tampa Bay Ducks
Fortunately, Tampa Bay Ducks, this week's problem isn't exactly a brain teaser. Going with multiple zero-point players in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up more than 142 points... let's attempt to play with a full deck of cards next time.
