Coach Talk

FantasyFootballTeam
Getting the win is most important, FantasyFootballTeam, but we definitely know of one spot where we should improve as a team: our QB was significantly outplayed by the opposition. Our one signal-callers combined for just 20.2 points in Week 12, and the QBs for Mandalay Bay doubled us up with a score of 45.25. Let's spend some extra time this week working with our receivers!
Mandalay Bay
Keep your chin up, Mandalay Bay! You can take solace in the fact that your kindness this week did not go unnoticed. It was generous of you to help someone like FantasyFootballTeam succeed... and perhaps one day, they'll return the favor by selecting a couple of defenses early in the 2023 draft (...something along those lines).
