Coach Talk

Jennie's Team
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. Case in point: we really emphasized that by almost tripling Captain Lucidity at running back this past week (40.1 points to 13.4).
Captain Lucidity
Trust us on this one, we've been in this industry for quite a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, your fans whine a bit, and the local beat writers get a bit nit-picky with distasteful columns. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning really does cure all. Keep your head up, Captain Lucidity!
