Coach Talk

Hard Targets
Nice job overcoming that two-game winless streak, Hard Targets! Every fantasy GM is sure to be faced with adversity somewhere along the way... keep on truckin' and good things will continue to happen.
AMMODOG
Keep your head up, AMMODOG! There really is still a lot of football left to be played. The next few opponents might glance at your record and foolishly think they have a cakewalk. Take a page out of Jake Elliott's book and put your best foot forward... catch these complacent managers off-guard!
