Coach Talk

RT17
Good work deploying a lineup that recorded nearly 410 points this past week. We did what was needed and took care of business. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to a tricky matchup in Week 9.
Beefy Legends
Well, Beefy Legends, this week's problem is fairly easy to identify. Choosing to start multiple zero-point players in a fantasy matchup where every point mattered... let's attempt to play with a full deck of cards next time.
