Coach Talk

Mario's Team
Nice job, Mario's Team. Fielding a team that netted 33.79 points this past matchup. We should keep this momentum going as we head into what might be a winnable Week 13 matchup.
Joshua's Team
Well, Joshua's Team, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science. Starting several zero-point players in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
