Coach Talk

Knight Riders
Good work assembling a starting crew that earned 101.5 points this past week. We did what we had to do and took care of business. We should take this W in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Flying Unicorns, and continue marching forward to a fantasy championship.
Flying Unicorns
Fortunately, Flying Unicorns, this week's problem was pretty easy to spot. Choosing to start Julio Jones in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied 101.5 points... let's aim to move forward with a full deck of cards next time.
