Coach Talk

Jaymin
Mission accomplished, Jaymin. Fielding a lineup that won by more than 27 points in Week 1. We should keep this momentum rolling as we step into our next matchup in Week 2.
LosingMyReligion
The problem in Week 1 was pretty easy to diagnose, LosingMyReligion. Starting Joe Ostman and Shareef Miller in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
