Coach Talk

Dalton's Crew
Bravo, Dalton's Crew. Good work deploying a lineup that posted over 174 points this past matchup. Let's maintain this momentum as we roll into our Week 2 matchup.
Tyler's Team
Fortunately, Tyler's Team, this week's problem was pretty easy to diagnose. Choosing to start several zero-point players in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all move on from this and assume that something like this won't happen again?
