Coach Talk

SuperBowlboy
Props on deploying a lineup that won by over 35 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done. We should keep this momentum going as we move on to our next matchup in Week 16.
milanese
The problem this week is pretty easy to identify, milanese. Choosing to start Jordan Reed in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up more than 107 points... let's all just put this behind us and move on.
