Coach Talk

The Mad Scientist
Nice job, The Mad Scientist. Fielding a starting crew that logged 123.58 points this past week... we'll tip our cap to the GM of Pyramid of Greatness, take this victory in stride, and continue the march towards the Hiawatha Elite League title.
Pyramid of Greatness
Fortunately, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Pyramid of Greatness. Choosing to start Alfred Morris in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied 123.58 points... let's do a little research ahead of time next week?
