Coach Talk

The Raptor
Listen The Raptor, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped recently, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 195.87 points through Week 14, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outproducing the 140.5 we needed for this past week's win!
HTTR!
Well, HTTR!, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science. Choosing to start James Conner in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up 140.5 points... let's try to move forward with a full deck of cards next time.
