Coach Talk

AK-41
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, AK-41. Deploying a starter with zero points (Dre'Mont Jones), while still getting the win... that's playing with fire.
5X Champion LFG
Well, 5X Champion LFG, this week's problem was pretty easy to diagnose. Starting Chris Jones in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up over 135 points... let's all move on from this and assume it's not going to happen again?
