Coach Talk

Death From Above
Deploying a lineup that won by 15.79 points this past week... we did what was needed and took care of business. Let's take this W in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Flushers, and continue the march towards a fantasy championship.
Flushers
We just took it easy so our players could dominate in Week 2, right? The eight starting offensive position players (five WRs, two RBs, one TE) on Flushers combined to register 371 yards and no touchdowns in Week 1. The skill players on Death From Above definitely outperformed us by logging 538 yards and two scores.
