Coach Talk

Death
Nice work, Death. Bravo on assembling a lineup that tallied 106 points this past matchup. We'll maintain this momentum as we roll into our Week 16 matchup.
Mean Machine
Well, Mean Machine, this week's problem was pretty easy to diagnose. Choosing to start Jordan Reed in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up 106 points... let's use this as an opportunity to get better and agree that it won't happen again?
