Coach Talk

Dmitry's Team
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Dmitry's Team! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve. Our running backs were clearly outmatched by the opposition. Austin Ekeler (68 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) logged just 8.8 points in Week 13, and the starting backfield for michael's Team tripled us up with a score of 29.2. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 14!
michael's Team
Fortunately, michael's Team, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science. Starting Jimmy Graham in what turned out to be a tight fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time.
