Coach Talk

Kansas City Chiefs
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, Kansas City Chiefs. It takes a special kind of moxie to roll out a starter with negative points (plus multiple zero-point players) while still earning the W. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Denver Broncos
Fortunately, Denver Broncos, this week's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Choosing to start the Tennessee Titans defense, quite a few zero-point players in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
