Coach Talk

XFL 2.0 (Matt)
Good work assembling a starting crew that netted over 121 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. We should take this win in stride, tip our hat to the GM of DeKaylin Zecharius, and continue marching forward to a fantasy title.
DeKaylin Zecharius
Welp, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a healthy 24 targets in Week 2. With only 14 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
