Coach Talk

Average Joe’s
Heckuva job overcoming that two-match losing streak, Average Joe’s! Every fantasy team will surely be hit with adversity somewhere along the way... continue to keep your eyes out for what challenges lie ahead.
FantasyFootballTeam
Your quarterback threw one interception and literally zero touchdowns? We might need to go back and review the game tape. Were the Falcons genuinely that great defending the pass, or did Derek Carr appear flustered back there in the pocket? What do you think? Do we continue to roll with him as the starting QB of FantasyFootballTeam?
