Coach Talk

Birdzilla
Putting together a lineup that won by a whopping 37.7 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done. We should maintain this momentum as we head into our next challenge in Week 6.
LoKCed & Loaded
Fortunately, LoKCed & Loaded, Week 5's problem was fairly easy to diagnose. Choosing to start the Miami Dolphins defense in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again?
