Coach Talk

DYNASTY
Good job assembling a lineup that posted 80 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we needed to do.
LIL PENNY
Well, Week 16's problem was pretty easy to spot, LIL PENNY. Choosing to start Rhamondre Stevenson and Marquez Valdes-Scantling in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied 80 points... let's use this as a learning experience and all agree that it won't happen again?
