Coach Talk

Win or die trying
This sport is all about spotting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Mike's Team at the wide receiver position (60.15 points to 25.3).
Mike's Team
Luckily, Week 17's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Mike's Team. Starting Luke Kuechly and Trumaine Johnson in a fantasy matchup where every point mattered... we'll just assume it won't happen again and move on.
