Coach Talk

Steel Reign
You know Steel Reign, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped recently, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 144.85 points through Week 9, our crew has obviously proven that it's even better than the 102.95 we needed to win this past week!
Vultures
Well, Vultures, this week's problem is pretty easy to identify. Choosing to start DeAndre Hopkins in a tough fantasy matchup... let's just assume something like this won't happen again and move on?
