Coach Talk

Tonyk 77ers
Listen Tonyk 77ers, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has declined a bit recently, we'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 98.38 points through Week 8, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 79 we needed for this past week's win!
Shalabajzeri
Luckily, this week's problem was pretty easy to spot, Shalabajzeri. Starting Ronald Jones II in what turned out to be a tight fantasy matchup... let's all just put this in the rear-view mirror and assume that something like this won't happen again.
