Coach Talk

Nasty biters
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a sound showing by Gardner Minshew II, we nearly quadrupled The Gerb at the quarterback position this past week (24.7 points to 6.5). Minshew II went 24-for-40 for 355 yards, two TDs, and two INTs in a 40-34 loss to the Cowboys.
The Gerb
As we bid adieu to 2022, our coaching staff can look back on the fantasy season and appreciate all of the ups and the downs that came with it. Okay, well really just 11 ups and five downs, but still... Our coaching staff thanks you for spending a great year with us, and here's to 2023!
