Coach Talk

Ari Podhorcer's Team
Bravo, Ari Podhorcer's Team. Assembling a team that registered more than 117 points in Week 1. Let's take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Pat's Unmatched Team, and continue marching forward to a fantasy championship.
Pat's Unmatched Team
Our starting QB threw three interceptions and just one touchdown? We may have quite a dilemma on our hands here: Were the Titans genuinely that stout defending the pass, or was Baker Mayfield just that out-of-tune with his receiving crew? You'll need to decide one way or the other, Pat's Unmatched Team, as you manage your lineup for Week 2 and beyond!
