Coach Talk

Red & Gold
We do respect the confidence this past week, Red & Gold. Deploying a starter with zero points (Cam Akers), while still getting the W... that's borderline cocky! All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it in the postseason and we'll be done.
DJfromSG🦅
I'd suggest that you use this defeat as a learning opportunity and regroup for next week, DJfromSG🦅. Get familiar with what the Yahoo! Fantasy Experts are advising and deploy the strongest possible lineup in Week 2.
