Coach Talk

John's Team
Putting together a lineup that won by 185.56 points this past week... we did what was needed and took care of business. Let's keep this momentum going as we head into our next challenge in Week 2.
Phillip's Team
Fortunately, Phillip's Team, this week's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Going with several zero-point players in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll just move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again.
