Coach Talk

Greyhound Express
Nice job deploying a lineup that won by nearly 56 points this past week. We deem that to be a job done right.
KCCANE99
Fortunately, KCCANE99, Week 16's problem isn't exactly rocket science. Choosing to start Todd Gurley II, Alex Collins, and Josh Gordon in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll consider this to be a learning experience and agree that it's not going to happen again.
