Coach Talk

Jesus Was A JuJu
Bravo, Jesus Was A JuJu. Deploying a lineup that won by more than 21 points in Week 5... we'll take this win in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Ape Rape, and continue our march towards the FANTASY FOOTBALL 2018 league title.
Ape Rape
Unless Ape Rape wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" is not a valid excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 44 times in Week 5. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group recorded just 26 catches.
