Coach Talk

5Fingers2YoFace
Nice job deploying a starting crew that won by more than 48 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done.
Cowboys
The problem in Week 14 is pretty easy to diagnose, Cowboys. Choosing to start Gerald Everett, Josh Jacobs, and Jabrill Peppers in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up 304.7 points... let's aim to move forward with a full deck of cards next time?
