Coach Talk

Smiley Face!
Kudos to you, Smiley Face!. Nice work deploying a lineup that blew the opposition out by a whopping 63 points this past matchup. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Tua-finity & beyond, take this victory in stride, and continue on our way towards the Its Just a Fantasy World X league title.
Tua-finity & beyond
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, two TE) were targeted a grand total of 19 times in Week 1. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they pulled down only eight catches.
