Coach Talk

Whackers
Good work deploying a lineup that won by more than 49 points this past week. We did what was needed and took care of business. We should maintain this momentum as we step into our next matchup in Week 2.
Hangovers
Fortunately, Hangovers, this week's problem is fairly easy to spot. Starting Russell Gage in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
