Coach Talk

Goldfinger Slingers
Kudos to you, Goldfinger Slingers. Putting together a lineup that registered more than 458 points this past matchup. We should keep this momentum going as we head into our next challenge in Week 14.
Jokers Wild
Fortunately, Jokers Wild, Week 13's problem was fairly easy to diagnose. Starting Tyler Lockett, Akiem Hicks, and Joe Flacco in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied over 458 points... we'll consider this to be a learning experience and agree that it won't happen again?
