The Overkiller's
You know what, The Overkiller's, we do appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to start a player with zero points (Kenneth Gainwell), while still earning the win! All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we'll be done.
PIERMONSTERS
Fortunately, PIERMONSTERS, this week's problem was fairly easy to spot. Starting Graham Gano in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up over 229 points... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
