Coach Talk

Orange Nation
Bravo on assembling a starting crew that earned almost 199 points this past week. We deem that to be a job well done. We should take this win in stride, tip our cap to the GM of The Big Gronkowski, and continue on our way towards a fantasy title.
The Big Gronkowski
Talk about old-school ground n' pound: As a group, the starting RBs for The Big Gronkowski collectively recorded just five targets this past week. Instruct those offensive coordinators to dial up some screen plays in Week 7!
