Coach Talk

Triple J
Good work deploying a starting crew that tallied more than 139 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. We should tip our cap to the GM of More Squats!, take this W in stride, and continue our march towards the Head Hunting Dynasty league championship.
More Squats!
Well, this week's problem is pretty easy to identify, More Squats!. Going with Van Jefferson and George Kittle in a tough fantasy matchup... let's deem this to be an opportunity to get better and agree that it won't happen again?
