Coach Talk

Get Your Zeke On
Listen Get Your Zeke On, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped recently, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 139.72 points through Week 13, our crew has obviously proven that it's even better than the 120.9 we needed for this past week's win!
O'Doyle Rules!
The problem this week is pretty easy to diagnose, O'Doyle Rules!. Starting Alshon Jeffery in a fantasy matchup where every point mattered... let's just assume it won't happen again and move on.
