Coach Talk

Taco Corp
Nice work assembling a starting crew that produced over 111 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we needed to do.
Related By Choice
The problem this week is pretty easy to identify, Related By Choice. Going with James Conner in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll all move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again?
