Coach Talk

Smack down boyz
Nice job overcoming that two-match losing streak, Smack down boyz! Every fantasy team is faced with adversity at some point or another... keep showing resilience like this and good things will continue to happen.
Raiders4Life
Well, Week 13's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Raiders4Life. Going with Hunter Henry and Darrell Henderson Jr. in what wound up being a tight fantasy matchup... let's attempt to play with a full deck of cards next time.
