Coach Talk

1976 Tampa Bay Bucs
Kudos to you, 1976 Tampa Bay Bucs. Good work assembling a team that won by nearly 21 points this past week. We should keep this momentum going as we move on to what should be a favorable matchup in Week 2.
MadTownWarriors
Fortunately, MadTownWarriors, Week 1's problem was pretty easy to diagnose. Going with Cole Kmet in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied more than 203 points... let's all just move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again?
