News: Another insanely busy week here at Clan McDonald fantasy headquarters, so much so that I am going to need to go with an abridged version of the newsletter. First and foremost a reminder – today is American Thanksgiving and there are three games on tap so make sure to set your line-up if you have any players involved in those games.
