Coach Talk

Wildebeasts
Assembling a lineup that registered more than 82 points this past week... we deem that to be a job done right. Let's take this W in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Huskies, and continue pushing forward to a fantasy title.
Huskies
Talk about under-utilized. The starting backfield for Huskies collectively recorded only two targets this past week. Get those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 2!
