Coach Talk

Clinton's Avengers
Bravo, Clinton's Avengers. Fielding a lineup that recorded almost 231 points this past week.
josh's Team
Fortunately, josh's Team, Week 16's problem was fairly easy to diagnose. Choosing to start the Denver Broncos defense, Hunter Henry, James Robinson, and Lamar Jackson in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up nearly 231 points... we'll just put this in the rear-view mirror and assume something like this won't be happening again.
