Coach Talk

illegal ALIENs
Kudos to you, illegal ALIENs. Good job fielding a team that blew the opposition out by a whopping 33.56 points this past matchup.
Bad Juju
Well, Bad Juju, Week 16's problem is fairly easy to identify. Choosing to start Raheem Mostert in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied over 132 points... let's use this as a learning experience and agree that it won't happen again.
