Coach Talk

abel's Wondrous Team
Way to shrug off that five-match losing skid, abel's Wondrous Team! Every fantasy team is met with adversity somewhere along the way... keep at it and remember the 2021 season is far from over.
Low Ballers
Don't get too discouraged, Low Ballers! Look, we've been in this industry long enough to realize that every once in a while, seven extra points can just randomly come out of nowhere... and then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Keep chipping away and good things will eventually happen.
