Coach Talk

One--Eyed--Willie
Deploying a starting crew that tallied over 270 points this past week... we deem that to be a job done right.
ESPN IS BETTER
Well, ESPN IS BETTER, this week's problem was fairly easy to spot. Choosing to start Roquan Smith, Kalen Ballage, and Matthew Stafford in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up over 270 points... let's all assume something like this won't happen again and move on.
