Coach Talk

Cash Money
Kudos to you, Cash Money. Assembling a starting crew that earned 133.48 points in Week 1. We should take this victory in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Throwball Champ, and continue our march towards a fantasy championship.
Throwball Champ
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our three wide receivers collectively got a hearty 22 targets in Week 1. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they tallied only 12 catches.
