Coach Talk

Ty's Impressive Team
Props to you, Ty's Impressive Team. Nice job fielding a team that won by nearly 17 points this past matchup.
Chad's Excellent Team
The problem in Week 16 isn't exactly rocket science, Chad's Excellent Team. Choosing to start the Los Angeles Chargers defense in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied 116.76 points... we'll all just move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again.
