Coach Talk

Mahomes muscles
Good job assembling a lineup that produced more than 205 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done. Let's take this W in stride, tip our hat to the GM of ForWhomTheBellTolls, and continue on our way towards a fantasy title.
ForWhomTheBellTolls
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 29 targets in Week 4. With only 17 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
