Coach Talk

Arin Johnson's Team
Listen, Arin Johnson's Team, we do admire the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Jamal Adams), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Meatmonger and we'll be toast!
Cracklings
The problem this week isn't exactly rocket science, Cracklings. Choosing to start Dexter Lawrence II in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied more than 153 points... let's aim to play with a full deck of cards next time?
