Coach Talk

Low Ballers
You know Low Ballers, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped recently, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 186.82 points through Week 5, our crew has certainly proven that it's even stronger than the 130.15 we needed for this past week's win!
Tyler's Team
Well, Tyler's Team, this week's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Choosing to start multiple zero-point players in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll just put this behind us and move on?
