Coach Talk

Mclaurin AD14
Way to shrug off that three-match winless skid, Mclaurin AD14! Every fantasy GM is presented with adversity at some point or another... keep pushing forward and remember the 2021 season is far from over.
SteelTown Rockstar
You can take our word for it, we've been in this business for quite a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, the fans whine a bit, and your local beat writers get a little nit-picky with all of their questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning really does cure all. Keep your head up, SteelTown Rockstar!
