Coach Talk

KayCee Chiefs
Nice job assembling a starting crew that earned more than 474 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. Let's maintain this momentum as we step into our Week 2 matchup.
FronkleBerry Crunch
The problem in Week 1 isn't exactly rocket science, FronkleBerry Crunch. Choosing to start quite a few zero-point players in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied more than 474 points... let's aim to play with a full deck of cards next time?
