Coach Talk

Ready Player One
You know what, Ready Player One, we do certainly admire the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (the Jacksonville Jaguars defense), while still getting the W... that's borderline cocky. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Debo and see what happens!
Danny's Dandy Team
Even though we weren't able to earn the win this past week, let's remember to give thanks for the bounty of goodness that is fantasy football.
