Coach Talk

Crown Royal
You know Crown Royal, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has decreased a bit lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 185.06 points through Week 7, our crew has definitely proven that it's even better than the 155.31 we needed to win this past week!
Millers Lock
The problem in Week 8 is pretty easy to diagnose, Millers Lock. Starting multiple zero-point players in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
