Coach Talk

Wylde Wolves 🐺
Putting together a lineup that won by more than 38 points this past week... we did what was needed and took care of business. We should tip our cap to the GM of Parrotheads, take this W in stride, and continue on our way towards a fantasy title.
Parrotheads
Three WRs, two RBs, one TE, zero TDs: The six offensive skill starters on Parrotheads combined to register a whopping 540 total yards. None of those starters could find his way to the end zone in Week 3.
