Coach Talk

The Worst Team Ever!
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Fueled by an awesome performance from Lamar Jackson, we thoroughly outplayed The Rat Pack at the quarterback position this past week (83 points to 17). Jackson lit up the Dolphins secondary by putting up 318 yards and three passing touchdowns.
The Rat Pack
Trust us on this one, The Rat Pack... We've been in this industry for a long time now. Obstacles pop up, you suffer some defeats, your fans get whiny, and the local beat writers get a little nit-picky with their incessant questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning really does cure all!
