Coach Talk

tails
Way to shrug off that two-game losing streak, tails! Every fantasy GM is presented with adversity somewhere along the way... keep showing resilience like this and good things will continue to happen.
LEGENDZQH
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our three wide receivers were targeted a grand total of 16 times in Week 15. Chemistry seems to be a problem, as that group reeled in only nine balls.
