Coach Talk

RJ Machismo
Nice job, RJ Machismo. Kudos on assembling a lineup that blew the opponent out by a whopping 65 points this past week. We should maintain this momentum as we roll into what should be a winnable matchup in Week 13.
FearsomeFoursome
The problem this week is pretty easy to diagnose, FearsomeFoursome. Choosing to start Barkevious Mingo and Brandon Wilson in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied 136 points... we'll just move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again.
