Coach Talk

A.J. Styles
Nice job, A.J. Styles. Bravo on fielding a lineup that won by 15.7 points this past week. We should take this W in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Top of The Rock, and continue on our way towards a fantasy championship.
Top of The Rock
Your quarterback tossed two interceptions and not a single touchdown? We may should have a little debate here: Were the 49ers actually that strong against the pass, or was Jared Goff just that out-of-sync with the receivers? This judgment is yours to make, Top of The Rock, as you deploy your lineup for Week 13 and beyond!
