Coach Talk

Great Lakers
Well Great Lakers, the good news is that we took this matchup by an impressive 53.62 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 14 stood at 114.51. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
ms's Grand Team
The problem in Week 15 was pretty easy to identify, ms's Grand Team. Going with Lamar Jackson in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied almost 101 points... let's all put this in the rear-view mirror and assume something like this won't be happening again?
