Coach Talk

James's Unmatched Team
Way to shrug off that four-match losing skid, James's Unmatched Team! Every fantasy GM will surely be met with adversity at some point or another... keep pushing forward and good things will continue to happen.
My Team
Only two makes on four field goal attempts? Seems like Rodrigo Blankenship may have just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
