Coach Talk

yard crew
Props to you, yard crew. Deploying a lineup that won by over 21 points in Week 16. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Manager-less Team, take this victory in stride, and continue the march towards the NFL Football Pool 2020-2021 league title.
Manager-less Team
Fortunately, Manager-less Team, Week 16's problem was fairly easy to spot. Going with quite a few zero-point players in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all just move on from this and assume that something like this won't happen again.
