Coach Talk

Squirrel Shooters
Good job assembling a lineup that won by more than 60 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. Let's keep this momentum as we head into our next matchup in Week 8.
country roads
Well, country roads, Week 7's problem is fairly easy to identify. Starting quite a few zero-point players in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all just move on from this and assume it's not going to happen again.
