Coach Talk

Pai Mei
Props on deploying a starting crew that produced almost 436 points this past week. We did what we needed to do and took care of business. We should maintain this momentum as we move on to our Week 4 matchup.
Adi's Team
Well, Adi's Team, Week 3's problem was fairly easy to identify. Going with multiple zero-point players in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied nearly 436 points... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
