Coach Talk

Team Skylar-49er
Way to shrug off that four-game losing streak, Team Skylar-49er! Every fantasy team will surely be faced with adversity somewhere along the way... keep on truckin' and remember the 2018 season is far from over.
YO MOMMA
Only one field goal on five attempts? Sounds like Mason Crosby might have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
