Coach Talk

Texas Blitz
Assembling a starting crew that won by more than 55 points this past week... we deem that to be a job done right.
Gardettos
Fortunately, Gardettos, this week's problem was pretty easy to identify. Choosing to start the Denver Broncos defense in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time.
