Coach Talk

Bad Boy
Earning the win is most important, Bad Boy, but we definitely know of one spot where we can get better as a team. Our starting wide receivers were severely overmatched this past week. Buoyed by Ja'Marr Chase (three total yards, no TDs) and Mike Evans (14 yards, no TDs), our three WRs combined for only 28.6 points in Week 15. The starting wideouts for Anthony Scudder tripled us up with a score of 98.6.
Anthony Scudder
Tis the season, Anthony Scudder! We hope the GM of Bad Boy will send a thank-you card for the gift of a fantasy football victory this past week.
