Coach Talk

jbml
Heckuva job shrugging off that four-game losing skid, jbml! Every fantasy team is faced with adversity somewhere along the way... keep pushing forward and remember the 2019 season is far from over.
Tucas
Normally, 219.42 points isn't too ghoulish of a showing, Tucas. The scariest issue this past week is that you had to face jbml and their spooky score of 226.2.
