Coach Talk

MONEY!
Nice work assembling a lineup that registered 170.71 points this past week. We did what we had to do and took care of business. We should maintain this momentum as we move on to our Week 15 matchup.
Ze Bums
Fortunately, Ze Bums, Week 14's problem was pretty easy to diagnose. Starting Benson Mayowa, Le'Veon Bell, and Greg Olsen in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time.
