Coach Talk

Mammoths
Way to shrug off that two-match winless streak, Mammoths! Every fantasy team is hit with adversity at some point or another... keep at it and remember the 2019 season is far from over.
Strait Outta Bounds
There's still a ton of time left to turn this season around, Strait Outta Bounds! The next few opponents might look at the win-loss record and foolishly believe they have a cakewalk. You've got them exactly where you want them... deploy your best possible starting lineup and they won't see it coming!
