Coach Talk

SHO ing u the way🇯🇵
Nice job deploying a starting crew that registered 150 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done.
Kaeptain America
Well, Kaeptain America, this week's problem isn't exactly a brain teaser. Choosing to start Benny Snell Jr. and Calvin Ridley in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll just put this in the rear-view mirror and assume something like this won't be happening again.
