Coach Talk

Outlaws
Hey, now that's what we're lookin' for! A staggering 29 completions on 36 attempts for Drew Brees this past week. Quality and quantity! The Packers secondary didn't know what hit 'em! In what wound up being a ridiculously tight matchup, the GM of Outlaws has got to be grateful for this type of precision and attention to detail.
larry's Team
Luckily, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science, larry's Team. Choosing to start Kenny Clark in what turned out to be a tight fantasy matchup... let's aim to play with a full deck of cards next time?
