Coach Talk

Nana Nancy
Mission accomplished, Nana Nancy. Good job fielding a lineup that blew the competition out by over 34 points in Week 1. We should keep this momentum going as we step into a tricky challenge in Week 2.
Sherlock Mahomes
Coming from someone who's lived life on the hot seat, let me assure you... if this whole "fantasy football coach" thing doesn't work out, you can always fall back on that scrappy Graduate Assistant job available at the community college down the street!
