Coach Talk

Unladen Swallows
Nice job deploying a starting crew that earned 270.62 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we needed to do.
Greenbay Ballers
Luckily, this week's problem is pretty easy to diagnose, Greenbay Ballers. Going with the Denver Broncos defense in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
