Coach Talk

Hi Risk Hi Reward
Whoa now Hi Risk Hi Reward, that's what rigorous preparation and executing the game plan will do for ya! A completion percentage of 85 percent for Matt Ryan this past week. Quality *and* quantity! That Colts defense didn't stand a chance! We know the manager of Hi Risk Hi Reward has got to be grateful for the precision and attention to detail.
Brian's Team
Well, Brian's Team, this week's problem was fairly easy to diagnose. Going with Damien Williams in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied over 124 points... let's deem this to be a learning experience and agree that it won't happen again?
