Coach Talk

Makaala's Bold Team
Deploying a starting crew that won by over 10 points this past week... we took care of business and did what we needed to do. Let's take this win in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Alin's Awesome Team, and continue the march towards a fantasy title.
Alin's Awesome Team
Hey, it's possible that Alin's Awesome Team may be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only zero targets combined this past week, their two wide receivers apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
