Coach Talk

Dead and Burrowed
Nice work assembling a starting crew that won by nearly 76 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. We should tip our cap to the GM of Chris's Crazy Team, take this victory in stride, and continue the march towards a fantasy championship.
Chris's Crazy Team
Wow, talk about under-utilized: The starting backfield for Chris's Crazy Team collectively recorded one catch on just two measly targets this past week. Get those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 2!
