Coach Talk

HOED DE DOE'S
You know HOED DE DOE'S, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped recently, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 124.8 points through Week 13, our crew has obviously proven that it's even stronger than the 90.2 we needed to win this past week!
Dennis's Team
The problem in Week 14 is pretty easy to spot, Dennis's Team. Choosing to start Alex Collins, Greg Olsen, and Melvin Gordon III in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied over 90 points... let's do a little research before we officially submit our Week 15 lineup.
