Coach Talk

gibby's Team
Nice work assembling a lineup that earned almost 112 points this past week. We did what was needed and took care of business. Let's take this victory in stride, tip our hat to the GM of john's Team, and continue the march towards a fantasy title.
john's Team
This outcome was just too spooky for us, john's Team! It turned out that the Houston Texans defense, Ezekiel Elliott, and Mark Ingram II felt like ghosting on your team, while gibby's Team played the role of Boogeyman. All tricks and no treats!
