Coach Talk

Yokohama Zets
Listen Yokohama Zets, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's decreased a bit recently, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 125.99 points through Week 8, our crew has certainly proven that it's even better than the 96.45 we needed to win this past week!
Team Godzilla 55
Well, Team Godzilla 55, Week 9's problem was fairly easy to diagnose. Going with the New Orleans Saints defense, Jake Elliott, Le'Veon Bell, and Rex Burkhead in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied over 96 points... we'll all assume something like this won't happen again and move on.
