Coach Talk

Soaring Fondue
Good job deploying a lineup that produced over 123 points this past week. We deem that to be a job well done.
Dotzmania
Well, Dotzmania, this week's problem was pretty easy to diagnose. Starting Todd Gurley II in a tough fantasy matchup... let's consider this to be a learning experience and agree that it won't happen again?
