Coach Talk

The BEER MAN
Earning the win is most important, The BEER MAN, but we've also identified one spot where we should get better as a team. Our starting wide receivers were utterly overmatched this past week. Held back by Adam Thielen (39 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Tyler Boyd (43 yards, no TDs), our three WRs combined for just 24.13 points in Week 14. The starting wideouts for San Diego Scrams doubled us up with a score of 50.87. Let's put some extra effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
San Diego Scrams
Well, San Diego Scrams, Week 14's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Choosing to start Robert Quinn and Trent Murphy in what turned out to be a tight fantasy matchup... let's aim to move forward with a full deck of cards next time.
