Coach Talk

NY Giants /Big Blue
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, NY Giants /Big Blue! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our starting running backs were utterly outclassed this past week. D'Onta Foreman (17 total yards, one TD) logged just 61.42 points in Week 16, and the starting backfield for Destroyers doubled us up with a score of 141.96.
Destroyers
Fortunately, Destroyers, Week 16's problem isn't exactly a brain teaser. Choosing to start DeVante Parker and Myles Jack in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
