Coach Talk

Dirty Hippies
Assembling a lineup that won by more than 18 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. Let's keep this momentum rolling as we head into our next challenge in Week 5.
Roughnecks
Fortunately, Roughnecks, this week's problem was fairly easy to identify. Starting Van Jefferson Jr. in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied 164.7 points... we'll use this as an opportunity to get better and all agree that it won't happen again.
