Coach Talk

Tidal Wave
Deploying a starting crew that produced over 679 points this past week... we deem that to be a job well done. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to our next challenge in Week 15.
John's Team
Luckily, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science, John's Team. Going with Julio Jones in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up over 679 points... let's all just put this in the rear-view mirror and assume something like this won't be happening again?
