Coach Talk

Las Vegas Raiders
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Las Vegas Raiders. Rolling out not one, not two, but FOUR players with zero points while still getting a win... that's playing with fire! We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we'll be done.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Fortunately, Pittsburgh Steelers, this week's problem isn't exactly a brain teaser. Choosing to start Robbie Anderson in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied 274.74 points... let's deem this to be a learning experience and agree that it's not going to happen again?
