Coach Talk

Keeper Reapers
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, Keeper Reapers. Our QB was severely outclassed by the opposition. Our one signal-callers combined for only 12 points in Week 15, while the QBs for V for ... tripled us up with a score of 41.
V for ...
Fortunately, V for ..., this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science. Going with T.J. Hockenson and Zane Gonzalez in what wound up being a tight fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
