Coach Talk

Daniel's Top-Notch Team
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, Daniel's Top-Notch Team. It takes guts to roll out a player with negative points (the Los Angeles Chargers defense) while still earning the win.
SHRIVELS's Swag Team
As we bid adieu to 2021, our coaching staff can look back on the fantasy season and appreciate all of the ups and the downs that came with it. Okay, well really just 11 ups and three downs, but still... Thanks for spending a great year with us, and here's to 2022!
