Coach Talk

Sith Lords
Props on assembling a lineup that accounted for 126 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right.
andre's Team
Well, andre's Team, this week's problem was fairly easy to spot. Starting Ryan Griffin in a fantasy matchup where every point mattered... let's just assume it won't happen again and move on?
