Coach Talk

The Comeback Kid
Putting together a lineup that won by over 23 points this past week... we did what was needed and took care of business. Let's take this W in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Layne Ducks, and continue on our way towards a fantasy championship.
Layne Ducks
Whoa now, talk about under-utilized. The starting RBs for Layne Ducks collectively logged only three catches on five targets this past week. Get those offensive coordinators to draw up a couple of screen plays in Week 6!
