Coach Talk

Jarheads
Props to you, Jarheads. Nice job deploying a starting crew that recorded more than 109 points this past matchup. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Averie's Expert Team, take this W in stride, and continue our march towards a fantasy championship.
Averie's Expert Team
Well, Averie's Expert Team, this week's problem was pretty easy to identify. Choosing to start Antonio Brown in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll use this as a learning experience and all agree that it's not going to happen again?
