Coach Talk

Annihilators
Way to shrug off that two-game losing skid, Annihilators! Every fantasy GM is sure to be presented with adversity somewhere along the way... keep at it and good things will continue to happen.
Tyler's Team
The problem in Week 3 is pretty easy to diagnose, Tyler's Team. Choosing to start several zero-point players in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied more than 157 points... let's all put this in the rear-view mirror and assume something like this won't be happening again?
