Coach Talk

michael's Team
Countless hours in the film room and on the practice field. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Each and every route, every single pass, drawn up meticulously and executed deliberately. The outcome? A superb 33 completions on 41 attempts... good enough for a completion percentage of 80% for Deshaun Watson this past week. That Colts secondary didn't see it coming!.
andrew's Team
Fortunately, andrew's Team, this week's problem is fairly easy to identify. Going with Christian McCaffrey in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied over 111 points... let's deem this to be a learning experience and agree that it won't happen again?
