Coach Talk

Tucas
Kudos to you, Tucas. Fielding a lineup that logged nearly 208 points this past matchup. We should tip our cap to the GM of jbml, take this win in stride, and continue our march towards the RR Fantasy Dynasty League - S8 title.
jbml
Wow, talk about under-utilized: The starting RBs for jbml collectively logged four catches on just five targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 2!
