Coach Talk

Patriot Killer
Nice job, Patriot Killer. Deploying a lineup that earned nearly 238 points in Week 3. Let's take this W in stride, tip our cap to the GM of HTTR!, and continue on our way towards a fantasy championship.
HTTR!
One touchdown and two interceptions for Carson Wentz against the Bengals this week. One win and two losses for HTTR! on the 2020 season. I'm usually pretty old-fashioned when it comes to these fancy numbers... but my analytics folks are telling me they're not thrilled about this matching 2-to-1 INT-to-TD, Loss-to-Win ratio!
