Coach Talk

Mile High Bronchos
Nice job deploying a lineup that produced over 123 points this past week. We did what we needed to do and took care of business. Let's keep this momentum going as we head into our Week 2 matchup.
FantasyFootballTeam
Ugh, talk about old-school ground n' pound. As a group, the starting backfield for FantasyFootballTeam collectively logged only five targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to dial up some screen plays in Week 2!
