Coach Talk

House of Mahomes
Putting together a lineup that won by almost 28 points this past week... we took care of business and did what we had to do. We should take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of JustToGetBy, and continue pushing forward to a fantasy title.
JustToGetBy
Logging just three receptions on five targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for JustToGetBy should investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the cold shoulder.
