Coach Talk

Joey's Team
It just can't be overstated how important tight wins like this can be for locker room chemistry. Persevering through trials and tribulations, while succeeding in the face of adversity... expect Joey's Team to carry some serious momentum into Week 16.
Golden Grahams
Well, Golden Grahams, this week's problem was fairly easy to spot. Going with the Los Angeles Rams defense and Vance McDonald in what turned out to be a tight fantasy matchup... let's try to move forward with a full deck of cards next time?
