Coach Talk

Team Tadlock
Good work, Team Tadlock. Assembling a lineup that won by more than 31 points this past matchup... we'll maintain this momentum as we move on to what could be a winnable Week 10 matchup.
ExigentCircumstances
Fortunately, ExigentCircumstances, this week's problem is fairly easy to diagnose. Going with Rob Gronkowski in a tough fantasy matchup... let's aim to play with a full deck of cards next time?
