Coach Talk

TMT
Nice work deploying a starting crew that won by more than 64 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we needed to do. We should keep this momentum rolling as we move on to a tricky challenge in Week 9.
Efrain's Team
Well, Efrain's Team, this week's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Choosing to start Robert Quinn in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time.
