Coach Talk

The A Team
Assembling a lineup that accounted for over 133 points this past week... we took care of business and did what had to be done. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Marecki, take this win in stride, and continue the march towards a fantasy title.
Marecki
Fortunately, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Marecki. Choosing to start Mecole Hardman and Shaquil Barrett in a tough fantasy matchup... let's just move on from this and assume that something like this won't happen again?
