Coach Talk

Battering Rams
Deploying a starting crew that produced 383.5 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. We should take this W in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Zimmreapers, and continue the march towards a fantasy championship.
Zimmreapers
Four wide receivers, three running backs, one tight end, zero touchdowns: The eight starting offensive position players on Zimmreapers combined to register a whopping 528 yards from scrimmage. No one from that group could get into the end zone in Week 1.
