Coach Talk

Sleeper pix
Way to shrug off that two-game winless streak, Sleeper pix! Each fantasy GM will surely be met with adversity at some point or another... keep chipping away and good things will continue to happen.
Llama llama
Hey, our guys were just resting up for next week, right? The six offensive position starters on Llama llama (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) combined to record 395 yards and just one touchdown in Week 5. Our opponent's skill players showed us how it's supposed to be done by logging 630 yards and three scores.
