Coach Talk

matalyhis's Nifty Team
Listen, matalyhis's Nifty Team, we do certainly admire the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Marquez Valdes-Scantling), while still earning a W... that's borderline cocky.
Francis's First-Rate Team
The problem in Week 16 isn't exactly rocket science, Francis's First-Rate Team. Choosing to start Marquise Goodwin in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up 117.48 points... let's attempt to play with a full deck of cards next time.
