Coach Talk

Cole's Team
Listen Cole's Team, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has decreased a bit lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 129.05 points through Week 13, our crew has obviously proven that it's even better than the 94.91 we needed for this past week's win!
Turn and Goff
The problem in Week 14 is pretty easy to spot, Turn and Goff. Choosing to start multiple zero-point players in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up nearly 95 points... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
