Coach Talk

ForWhomTheBellTolls
Way to shrug off that two-game losing skid, ForWhomTheBellTolls! Every fantasy GM is sure to be hit with adversity at some point or another... continue to keep your eyes out for what challenges lie ahead.
Easton's Team
Listen up, Easton's Team! Look, I've been in this business long enough to realize that every once in a while, free points can just randomly show up out of nowhere. And then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they don't! Hmmm, alright... asking for an additional 19 points might be a bit excessive.
