Coach Talk

Brian's Best Team
Listen Brian's Best Team, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's declined a bit recently, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 121.44 points through Week 3, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 113.48 we needed to win this past week!
Owned
Fortunately, Owned, this week's problem isn't exactly a brain teaser. Starting Randall Cobb in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied 113.48 points... let's use this as a learning experience and all agree that it's not going to happen again?
