Coach Talk

Brian's Best Team
Whoa now Brian's Best Team, that's the sort of showing we like to see! A completion percentage of 82% this past week for Mr. Precision... Uh, sorry, I mean Kirk Cousins. That Lions secondary didn't know what hit 'em! We know the GM of Brian's Best Team has got to be grateful for this type of precision and attention to detail.
Sand Crabs
Fortunately, Sand Crabs, this week's problem was fairly easy to diagnose. Starting Larry Fitzgerald and Jimmy Garoppolo in a tough fantasy matchup... let's attempt to play with a full deck of cards next time?
