Coach Talk

The Wallerus
Nice work, The Wallerus. Props on assembling a starting crew that blew the opponent out by a whopping 21.57 points this past week.
Sherlock Mahomes
Well, Sherlock Mahomes, unfortunately we don't think it would be very wise to tell "your homies" about the results in Week 15. Let's catch up on what the Yahoo! Fantasy Experts are saying and try to configure the strongest possible lineup next week. We feel like chances are decent that we'll do better than the 117.33 points we earned this week!
