Coach Talk

Wentzamania
Way to shrug off that two-game winless skid, Wentzamania! Each fantasy GM is sure to be presented with adversity at some point or another... continue to keep your eyes out for what challenges lie ahead.
Rush the Fields
Do your best take solace in the fact that your generosity did not go unnoticed. It takes a true winner to help someone like Wentzamania succeed this week... and when the time comes, maybe they can return the favor by selecting a couple of defenses early in next year's draft (something like that). Keep your head up, Rush the Fields!
