Good work, Davante Adams Family. Putting together a lineup that won by almost 43 points this past matchup.
That's Amari!

Adversity happens, losses pile up, the fans get a little whiny, and your local beat writers turn nit-picky with distasteful columns. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning is the easiest way to silence all the critics out there.
