Coach Talk

DPRK Rocketmen
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Thanks to a solid performance by Deshaun Watson, we utterly dominated SCLSU Mud Dogs at the quarterback position this past week (32.36 points to 6.92). Watson went 22-for-28 for 294 yards and two TDs in a 29-22 triumph over the Jets.
SCLSU Mud Dogs
Just like the NFL's new tackling rules, remember to keep your head up, SCLSU Mud Dogs! Trust us, we've been in this business for quite a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, the fans get whiny, and your local beat writers get a little testy with distasteful columns. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning is the easiest way to silence all the critics out there.
