Coach Talk

Shotgunning Natty's
Whoa, now that's what we love to see! A completion percentage of 97 percent this past week for Mr. Precision... Uh, sorry, I mean Drew Brees. That Colts secondary didn't know what hit 'em! We know the manager of Shotgunning Natty's has got to be thankful for that precision and attention to detail.
My Team
Fortunately, My Team, this week's problem is pretty easy to diagnose. Choosing to start JJ Arcega-Whiteside in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
