Coach Talk

Millers Lock
Getting the win is most important, Millers Lock, but we've also identified one spot where we can get stronger as a team... our running backs were thoroughly outplayed this past week. Latavius Murray (42 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Jerick McKinnon (68 yards, one TD) combined for just 19.55 points in Week 9. Todd Gurley II and Christian McCaffrey doubled us up with a score of 44.72. We need to put some extra effort into scouting these upcoming defenses!
methylated spirits
The problem in Week 9 is pretty easy to spot, methylated spirits. Choosing to start multiple zero-point players in a tough fantasy matchup... let's attempt to play with a full deck of cards next time?
