Coach Talk

Str8CashHomey
Well done, Str8CashHomey. Nice work assembling a team that registered over 41 points this past week. We should take this win in stride, tip our hat to the GM of LongShotzz, and continue the march towards a fantasy championship.
LongShotzz
Ugh, talk about under-utilized: The starting backfield for LongShotzz collectively logged only three targets this past week. Instruct those offensive coordinators to set up some screen plays in Week 3!
