Coach Talk

A team has no name
Heckuva job overcoming that two-match losing streak, A team has no name! Each fantasy GM is hit with adversity somewhere along the way... keep showing resilience like this and good things will continue to happen.
Comeback Kid
With three catches on only four measly targets this past week, the starting RBs for Comeback Kid should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
