Coach Talk

RT17
Assembling a lineup that produced 515.78 points this past week... we deem that to be a job done right. We should keep this momentum going as we roll into our next challenge in Week 2.
Beefy Legends
There's a possibility that Beefy Legends may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With just 12 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
