Coach Talk

Wineguy's Team
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, Wineguy's Team. Our QB was utterly outplayed this past week. Russell Wilson went 23-of-31 for 237 yards and two touchdowns for A's Awesome Team, and all Marcus Mariota could manage through the air was 88 passing yards. Let's put some extra effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
A's Awesome Team
Fortunately, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science, A's Awesome Team. Starting Keenan Allen in a fantasy matchup where every point mattered... let's do a little research beforehand in Week 16.
