Coach Talk

william's Superb Team
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by stellar outings by Justin Jefferson and A.J. Brown, our team really took that to heart this past week. We doubled up CactusJuice's Grand Team at wide receiver (55.4 points to 23.3). Jefferson had 184 receiving yards and two TDs while Brown chipped in with 155 yards.
CactusJuice's Grand Team
Hey, at least there were no celebration penalties: The six starting offensive skill players on CactusJuice's Grand Team (three RBs, two WRs, one TE) combined to record a whopping 390 yards from scrimmage. Unfortunately, none of those starters was able to find the end zone in Week 1.
