Coach Talk
DangeRuss
Hey, the key to football is finding the mismatches. Thanks to some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week.

Show Me Your TDs
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 22 times in Week 5. With only nine total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
