Coach Talk

MangoKid
Good work, MangoKid. Props on assembling a lineup that won by more than 47 points this past week.
BALLSWIN
The problem in Week 15 was pretty easy to diagnose, BALLSWIN. Going with Myles Jack in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied 239 points... we'll just assume something like this won't happen again and move on?
