Coach Talk

Legion of BOOM
Mission accomplished, Legion of BOOM. Good work assembling a starting crew that earned more than 142 points in Week 1. We should tip our cap to the GM of PrettyBOYPreeth, take this victory in stride, and continue our march towards a fantasy championship.
PrettyBOYPreeth
Unless PrettyBOYPreeth wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" cannot be a reasonable excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 32 targets in Week 1. Chemistry could be a problem, as that group managed just 19 catches.
