Coach Talk

Phillip's Team
Well, we do respect the confidence this past week, Phillip's Team. It's a bold move to start a player with zero points (Jourdan Lewis), while still getting the win. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be finished.
Larry's Team
Fortunately, Larry's Team, this week's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Going with Jamal Adams, Allen Lazard, and Budda Baker in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied 586.64 points... let's aim to play with a full deck of cards next time?
