Coach Talk

AllGlory2HypnoToad
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's not really any other way to put this, AllGlory2HypnoToad... our QBs were thoroughly outplayed this past week. Our two signal-callers combined for just 11.1 points in Week 15, and the QBs for Storm Chasers tripled us up with a score of 38.76.
Storm Chasers
Fortunately, Week 15's problem is pretty easy to identify, Storm Chasers. Going with Mike Evans in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up 121.7 points... we'll just move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again?
