Coach Talk

Neil's Notable Team
Nice job, Neil's Notable Team. Deploying a team that won by 54.76 points this past matchup. We should keep this momentum as we move on to our next matchup in Week 4.
Overdose's Cool Team
Hey, it's possible that Overdose's Cool Team would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With just zero targets combined this past week, their two wide receivers apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
