Coach Talk

PJ
Mission accomplished, PJ. Nice job assembling a lineup that nearly recorded 220 points in Week 13. We should tip our cap to the GM of Raiders soul smasher, take this W in stride, and continue pushing forward to a fantasy championship.
Raiders soul smasher
Well, this week's problem is pretty easy to diagnose, Raiders soul smasher. Starting Anthony Walker Jr. in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied almost 220 points... let's use this as an opportunity to get better and all agree that it won't happen again?
